American History (HS 131/132)

Research information and primary sources for U.S. History 1 and U.S. History 2.

Chicago Style

Historians frequently use Chicago Style. However, Butler courses in history typically use MLA Style. If you aren't sure which one to use, check with your instructor.

Citing Resources

While you are at Butler, you will use articles, books, journals, websites, and many other works for your research assignments. Citations are how you give credit to the authors of these sources.

Choose your citation style:

  • APA - Psychology, Biology, Sociology, Business, Education
  • MLA - English, Humanities, History

Always double check the citation requirements on your assignment to ensure you are using the correct citation style. When in doubt, contact your instructor.
