You mean that one shouldn't cite a record that they haven't actually seen, such as citing a birth certificate based on information from an index (for example). Is that correct or am I misunderstanding still?

Does that mean if I have a photocopy of death certificate that belongs to someone else, I should cite the repository as that person? And not the repository that she got it from? Is the purpose to cite so that someone else may find it also? Or just to show where I found it personally?

When I go to an archive, and get a copy from a microfilm which was made from an original (or possibly from another microfilm of the original), should my citation say "from a copy of a microfilm of an original?" What if the microfilm is several generations from the original, what then?Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218874833803647816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5512311610334754148.post-11752250316362729192011-04-27T08:37:28.989-06:002011-04-27T08:37:28.989-06:00I couldn't agree more.I couldn't agree more.Boss Gatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11994122170193771929noreply@blogger.com
