Fall '25 - HIST 1301 - Darbonne - by Kara Dixon: Turabian Examples (Bibliography)

A bibliography is a list of all the sources you used and consulted while researching and writing your paper.  It should be on its own page at the very end of your paper.

• Each entry gives full publication details so your reader can find the source themselves.
• Unlike footnotes or endnotes, which point to specific quotes or ideas, the bibliography gives an overview of every source that helped shaped your work. 

Formatting Quick Tips

• List sources in alphabetical order by the author's last name or the first word of your citation.
• If you are citing more than one work by the same individual, arrange entries alphabetically by title.  After the first entry, replace the author's name with six hyphens (------). 
• Single space all entries, leaving one blank line between each.  
• Use a hanging indent if the entry is more than one line in length.

Bibliography Example:

Remember, most library databases will generate citations for you.  Select "Chicago 17th Edition (Notes & Bibliography)"

Refer to the Turabian Documentation Style Guide for examples of full citations for different types of sources!
