Chicago Manual of Style

Art History uses the Chicago Manual of Style (CMOS) as its default referencing style. The manual is available through the Library. There are two versions of the Chicago style, the traditional Notes and bibliography version and an Author-Date version. The main difference is that the author-date version uses in-text citations whereas notes and bibliography uses footnotes
