Second, and unfortunately, there are no online SHA guidelines for electronic
sources. Almost two years ago, subscribers of HISTARCH drafted a set of
proposed revisions for electronic sources to the style guide (see below).
These
proposed revisions were submitted to the SHA, but I have not heard if the
editorial staff subsequently made final revisions. If they have, it would be
a
good idea to post them to the SHA style guide web page. >>
A Third point to consider is the ephemerality of the sources--I would say,
don't use an electronic reference without including the pertinent text as an
end note or in an appendix. I save lots of e-mails, but who saves them all?
That is, how could I check to see if you quoted the source correctly? That,
after all, is the point of referencing, isn't it? Just a thought, Carl Steen
