Greg, The site provides a citation in a source list format: United States. Works Projects Administration Historical Records Survey of North Carolina 1937. But the digital image of page 25's title and year conflicts with the site's citation of the year 1937: Asa Lovelace Cemetery, Boiling Springs, Cleveland County, North Carolna; Historical Records Survey of North Carolina 1939. For Works Projects Adminstration (WPA) publication citation models in /Evidence Explained/, see 554, 627, and 774.

Kathy, Thanks so much for the information. A question arises from the EE model on p. 774 which you mention. The format for "WPA Works: Original Editions" shows the Louisiana records cited in the example to be published 1940-42 in New Orleans. If I cannot find the publication date and place for the online images I access, is it acceptable to omit those from the citation as long as I include the information about the online images? Thanks..

I need help! How would you cite WPA cemetery survey records? I am looking at online scans of the original book from 1939. The NC Dept. of Cultural Resources has scanned the surveys for 98 of the 100 counties in North Carolina and placed them online. If I read correctly, each county was an independent project, and the transcriptions were published separately by county. I have looked in _Evidence_Explained_ and found section 5.21 for "Compiled Cemetery Records: Published Works", but I cannot for the life of me find where these things were actually published. I'm looking in particular at a single transcription in a single cemetery included in the survey. Can anyone give me some guidance? Thanks in advance. Peace, Part of the Tree, Greg

See EE, p. 673, for missing publication details (indexed under "publication data, missing"). Before accepting an absent publication date, I'd attempt to fully explore the site in case the information is provided elsewhere, or Google the publication. Re first question: The citation data for the digitized images of the WPA compilation at North Carolina Digital Collections cites their source as the North Carolina State Archives, so your citation to the digital image will need to include that information as well. Hope this helps a bit, Greg. I definitely am not "a citation master." Kathy On 10/24/2012 6:51 AM, Greg Lovelace wrote: > > Kathy, > > Thanks so much for the information.
