Citation Guidelines*
Digital images, like text, must be cited when used used in papers, article, books, etc. Don't forget citing a digitized version
of an image is different than citing the original object. A very good guide that includes how to use images is the 2008
edition of Sylvan Barnet's A Short Guide to Writing About Art, which is available through Yale Libraries.
Chicago Manual of Style
The Chicago Manual of Style: Online version of the 15th edition. See chapter 12 for detailed information on artworks.
The Chicago Manual of Style is available also available in print editions at many YUL libraries.
Here is an example of a proper citation for a photograph in Chicago Style. The image was located in the Library of
Congress Prints &Photographs Division online catalog.
