About this Source

37729

This section contains a short biography or history of your source. This section represents the core of the contextual research we provide to satisfy the second of the ADE’s criteria for Electronic Editions. This section helps readers understand the context in which the source was made, and the kinds of historical topics and questions it illuminates.

This history should answer questions like:

How, when, and where was this artifact created?
For what purpose? To what effect?
Who used it, when, where, why?
What sorts of histories and historical debates has it been used in? How might we use it in our explorations of the past today?

The target length of this section is about 2000 words, exclusive of notes. It should contain footnotes that substantiate and support your research into the artifact and its history. Here, as throughout, the focus should be on clean and clarity in the prose.

Word count: 2000 words (excluding footnotes)

Checklist:

Add any images to the text and configure as needed.
Follow general guidelines for text and citation
- First letter is drop cap
- Block quotes and lists are formatted appropriately
- Font matches style of the rest of the edition
- CSS for footnotes has been added and footnotes are encoded correctly (CSS for footnotes is at the book level)

Example:

Mariah Mendes Schaefer, “The Story of Menstruation (1946)”

This is where the footnotes go, formatted in Chicago style. Use link ID's and HREF's to link footnotes and references. Make these ID's unique and some kind of system you can remember. ↵
Always make sure to check that all your footnote links work by clicking the number and then the arrow back. ↵
