The History Guide
Steven Kreis has put up a Student's Guide and a general essay on What is History. He also has a very good site on Europe in the 20th century.Elements of Style
William Strunk wrote a little guide on common writing errors back in 1918. It's still one of the best around.Turabian
I prefer Kate Turabian's style of citing sources. If you want the full story, buy the book. Lots of people have taken examples, though, and put them on-line. Unfortunately, that manual doesn't have much to say about citing Internet sources. Washburn University's library has put together some sample net citations with examples from APA, MLA and from Turabian. Use any style you like, but use it consistently. See also Internet citations.
