It is important that researchers employ an adequate form of citation so that materials can be relocated easily. Regardless of footnote style, citations typically should contain the following elements:
- Type of document (e.g. memo, letter, cable, report, etc.)
- Names of sender and recipient or title of document, as applicable
- Date of document
- Folder title
- Box Number (note: box numbers sometimes change and items should never be identified only by box number)
- Collection title (You can also note any sub-series, as applicable)
- Jimmy Carter Library
- National Archives Identifier (NAID) if the item was located as a digital object via the National Archives Catalog
