Additional Advice

General Image Citation Advice

  • To find some of this information I moused over the image and a caption appeared. 
  • With photographs, those taken more recently can be described as a "Digital photograph" (since we can assume some were taken with a digital camera); with other images that are more historic in nature I used "Digitized photograph" (implying that it was scanned to make a digital version).
  • With some images, the website describes the medium with more specificity (such as "Photochrom print"); if the website does not provide a description of the image medium and you are unsure as to how to describe it, "Online image" can suffice as a generic option.
  • For dates, "n.d." is used when you have no indication of when the work was created, and "ca." is used for date estimates.
