Q. How do I cite archival material in DeGolyer Library?

Citation formats will depend on the style manual used and your specific project, but you should include enough information so that readers can locate your sources. For scholarly works, we suggest you include box numbers and folder titles as well, but at a minimum credit should be as follows:

[Description of item or title], [Name of collection] [accession/call number], DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University.

For exhibitions, presentations, web pages, broadcasts, newspaper or journal articles, etc. in which permission to use images has been granted by DeGolyer Library, please credit as follows:

Courtesy of DeGolyer Library, Southern Methodist University
