27. Related Textual References 🔺

DEFINITION

Citations to sources of textual information related to the work of art or architecture being described, including published bibliographic materials, Web sites, archival documents, unpublished manuscripts, and references to verbal opinions expressed by scholars or subject experts. Also includes subcategories for a citations authority.

SUBCATEGORIES

References to the object/work:

Citations Authority information:

GENERAL DISCUSSION

Citations establish the credibility of the information; in the outline of CDWA, it is possible to link citations to any and all subcategories, if desired. The subcategories in this category may form an authorityls cd to which all other relevant citation references are linked. While these subcategories are optional, it is nonetheless highly recommended to record the sources used for information in the object/work record, either as a general reference here or with the specific relevant subcategories throughout the record.

In addition to providing warrant for information in the record, the general citations may also include all the major sources in which the work was discussed or illustrated, whether or not the sources were used for the object/work record.

RELATED CATEGORIES and ACCESS

In an ideal system, this category would comprise a set of subcategories for general references to a work, which are linked to an authority. The authority subcategories are also described here; they may be linked to various parts of the object/work record through the relevant subcateories.

The decision whether to link citations to all categories, only to designated subcategories, or only to the object/work record as a whole should be made locally.

It is also a local decision whether to (1) use all of the display and indexing subcategories described for the authority in this section, or (2) to use only the and display subcatgories for the authority. Whether it is required to index various elements of the citation record or if display fields will suffice depends upon the level of retrieval required for citations.

DISCUSSION and GUIDELINES

Optional: Record a complete citation for the work. While it is optional to record , if you do record them, it is required to record the full citation for the source.

Form and syntax

Follow the rules stated below and for the citation style for the humanities and social sciences in the Chicago Manual of Style. If local practice dictates, apply alternative rules as found in the MLA Handbook and Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules; no matter which rules are used, be consistent.

Find the information to construct a citation on the title page of the work or by copy-cataloging from a library catalog.

In general, construct a full using the following elements: (1) author name in inverted order where applicable, period; (2) title, period; (3) site of publication, colon; (4) publisher, comma, (5) date of publication, period. Use title case (not sentence case).

Record the citations in English, with the exception of proper names and the title; record proper names and the title in the language of the title page. Use diacritics as necessary. Avoid abbreviations.

Author’s name in citation

Record the author as the first element in the full and brief citations. The author may be a person or a corporate body. For a person, record the name in inverted order (last name first) in the full citation. For a corporate body, record the name in natural order.

Include punctuation (e.g., hyphens) and diacritics as appropriate. For initials, include periods after the initial and a space between two initials.

Multiple authors

If there are multiple authors, record the first author’s name in inverted order and the subsequent names in natural order (e.g., Adkins, Lesley and Roy A. Adkins. Thesaurus of British Archaeology. Newton Abbot, England: David & Charles, 1982.).

Use the word “and” and commas to separate the names of authors (e.g., Trubner, Henry, William J. Rathbun, and Catherine A. Kaput. Asiatic Art in the Seattle Art Museum. Seattle: Seattle Art Museum, 1973.). List the authors in the order in which they appear on the title page. In the , if there are more than two authors, record the last name of the first author and “et al”.

If a second author revised or added to the original work, note this after the title (e.g., Smith, W. Stevenson. Art and Architecture of Ancient Egypt. 2nd ed., revised with additions by William Kelly Simpson. Pelican History of Art. New Haven and New York: Yale University Press, 1981.)

If there are more than three authors, list the first name followed by “et al” rather than listing them all (e.g., Fedje, Daryl W., et al. “Vermilion Lakes Site: Adaptations and Environments in the Canadian Rockies During the Latest Pleistocene and Early Holocene.” American Antiquity 60/1:81-108 (1995).). However, index all of the authors in the subcategory.

Editor

If there is no author and the editor has played a major role, as indicated by the placement of his or her name on the title page, record the editor’s name in inverted order, comma, and the abbreviation “ed.” as the first element in the full citation (e.g., Gordon, Yvonne, ed. Architectural Design and CAD. New York: Nichols Publishing Co., 1986.) For multiple editors, use the abbreviation “eds.” (e.g., Theories and manifestoes of contemporary architecture. Charles Jencks and Karl Kropf, eds. Chichester, England: Academy Editions; Lanham, MD: Distributed to the trade in the United States by National Book Network, 1997.). Include the editor’s last name in the in the same way that the author’s name would be listed.

If the editor has played a major role in writing the work, include the name in inverted order in the author position, using syntax as illustrated (e.g., Biscione, Antonio Maria, ed. Il Riposo, di Raffaello Borghini. Firenze: M. Nestenus e F. MoĂĽcke, 1730.).

If there is both an editor and an edition statement, spell out edited by to avoid confusion, because edition will also be abbreviated “ed.” (e.g., Smithells, Colin J. Smithells Metals Reference Book. 7th ed. Edited by Eric A. Brandes and G. B. Brook. Boston, Massachusetts: Butterworth Heinemann, 1992.).

If the title page includes both the author and an editor, include them both in the full citation. Record “Edited by” with the editor name in natural order after the title and the edition number (if any) (e.g., Fletcher, Banister, Sir. History of Architecture. 19th ed. Edited by John Mangrove. London: Butterworths, 1987.).

No author or editor

If there is no author or editor, record the title as the first element here in the full citation and in the subcategory (e.g., Columbus Indiana: A Look at Architecture. Columbus, Indiana: Columbus Area Chamber of Commerce, 1980.).

Title in citation

For books, record the title in title case (not sentence case). For journal and newspaper articles, see the “Periodicals” section below.

In the full citation, record the full title as it appears on the title page, but generally omit the initial articles (e.g., The) unless it is necessary to retain meaning (e.g., the “A” in Columbus Indiana: A Look at Architecture). Include subtitles if they are necessary to identify the work or aid the user in identifying the content of the work. In the , create a truncated title containing the most important words of the title.

  • Brief Citation:🔺 Gere and Pouncey, Italian Drawings: Artists Working in Parma (1967)
    Full Citation:🔺 Gere, J. A. and P. Pouncey. Italian Drawings in the Department of Prints and Drawings in the British Museum: Artists Working in Parma in the Sixteenth Century. London: British Museum Publications, 1967.

For titles in languages other than English, follow the conventions for capitalization of the given language (e.g., Bauchal, Charles. Nouveau dictionnaire biographique et critique des architectes français. Paris: André, Daly fils et cie, 1887.).

No title

If there is no apparent title, construct one. This happens most often with commercial sales catalogs, Web sites, and in-house unpublished authority lists.

Take keywords for a title from the cover or inside page of the catalog or authority list, or from the top of the web home page. If there is little or no information on the item itself (as happens sometimes with unpublished authority lists), devise a title from information that you know about the item, such as the institution it came from and the year of preparation.

  • Brief Citation: Getty Museum, Authority file (2003-)
    Full Citation: J. Paul Getty Museum. Authority file[unpublished database, TMS]. Los Angeles: J. Paul Getty Museum, 2003-.

Publisher and date in citation

As the last elements in the full citation, record the city of publication, publisher, and date of publication.

If the city will not be extremely well known to an international audience, include the name of the state or nation. Do not abbreviate any place name, unless it is extremely well known internationally (e.g., Anaheim, California NOT Anaheim, CA).

Generally, do not include the publisher in the subcategory.

    Full Citation:🔺 Lobley, J. Logan. Mount Vesuvius: A Descriptive, Historical, and Geological Account of the Volcano and Its Surroundings. London: Roper and Drowley, 1889.

Record the publisher in the language of the title page. Record the city of publication in English if there is an English version of the place name (e.g., Friuli-Venezia Guilia. 5th ed. Guida d’Italia del Touring Club Italiano. Milan: Touring Club Italiano, 1982.).

Multiple publishers

If there are multiple publishers, list them in the full citation, separated by semi-colons. If a work is published in association with another institution, use the phrase in association with or for, depending upon how it is phrased on the title page (e.g., Abel-Vidor, Suzanne, Ronald L. Bishop, et al. Between Continents/Between Seas: Precolumbian Art of Costa Rica. New York: Harry N. Abrams, Inc. in association with The Detroit Institute of Arts, 1981.).

Multiple places of publication

If a work was published over a range of years, include the years, separated by a hyphen/dash (e.g., Catholic University of America. New Catholic Encyclopedia. New York: Publishers Guild in association with McGraw-Hill Book Co., 1967-1979.). Do not omit numbers in the second year of the range (e.g., 1953-1988, not 1953-88). If a work is an ongoing publication, use the first year of publication followed by a hyphen/dash (e.g., Anatolian Studies. London: British Institute of Archaeology at Ankara, 1951-.).

Uncertain date

If the date is not found on the title page but you have a good idea of when the work was probably published or produced, use ca. as appropriate (e.g., Baldi, Filippo. Notebook of designs in architecture and decorative arts. Unprocessed collection, ca. 1697-1732.). If only the decade is certain, use a general date such as 1930s.

If an accurate or approximate date cannot be determined, use n.d., for “no date” (e.g., Von Ribbontropf, Dietrich. Last Generation of Futurist Artists. Berlin and Amsterdam: Pflicht Verlag, n.d.)

Edition in citations

If an edition statement is on the title page, include it in the full citation. Place it directly after the title. Use Arabic numerals for numbered editions and the abbreviation ed. for edition (e.g., Wöfflin, Heinrich. Principles of Art History. 7th ed. New York: Dover Publications, Inc, 1950.).

Generally, omit edition statements from the subcategory, unless it is necessary to distinguish between editions produced in the same year.

If the citation has both an edition statement and an editor, do not abbreviate editor as “ed.” (e.g., Gardner’s Art Through the Ages, 8th ed. Edited by Horst de la Croix and Richard G. Tansey. San Diego: Harcourt Brace Jovanovich, 1986.).

For a named edition, spell out edition if it is necessary to avoid confusion. Generally do not abbreviate revised, enlarged; translated, or other such words in the edition statement; spell them out (e.g., Pevsner, Nikolaus, et al. Dictionary of Architecture. Revised and enlarged ed. Woodstock, NY: Overlook Press, 1976.).

Reprints

If a work is a reprint, include this information in the full citation. Include the date of the reprint, not the date of the original citation, in the (e.g., Thieme, Ulrich and Felix Becker. Allgemeines -Lexikon der bildenden KĂĽnstler von der Antike bis zur Gegenwart. Reprint of 1907 edition. 37 vols. Leipzig: Veb E. A. Seemann Verlag, 1980-1986.).

Generally, omit the reference to the reprint in the , unless it is necessary to distinguish between versions produced in the same year.

Volumes

For encyclopedia and other sets, include the number of volumes in the set, if known, in the full citation. Record the number plus vols. after the title (e.g., American School of Classical Studies at Athens. Athenian Agora. 24 vols. Princeton, New Jersey: American School of Classical Studies at Athens, 1953-1988.).

Generally, record references to a single volume in the subcategory.

Essays

If there is a separate title or author for a chapter or essay in a collected work, generally record a separate citation for the essay or chapter (e.g., Zelinsky-Cartledge, Mary Ann and Daniel M. Cartledge. “AIlto and Arba: Two Doko Weavers,” in Ethiopia: Traditions of Creativity, Raymond Silverman, ed. East Lansing: Michigan State University Museum in association with the University of Washington Press, Seattle, 1999, 240-256).

For an encyclopedia, it is generally not necessary to refer to the author or title of an entry or essay. However, if it will not be immediately apparent to the user how to find the cited information in the source, include a reference to the title of the entry in the subcategory (not in the full citation).

Eight Sculptors: An Exhibition. Buffalo, New York: Albright-Knox Art Gallery, 1979, but Schimmel, Paul, et al. Public Offerings [exhibition catalog]. New York: Thames & Hudson. Los Angeles: Museum of Contemporary Art, 2001.).

If it is not clear from the title or place of publication where the exhibitions took place, include the places of the exhibition after the title in the full citation (e.g., Poulet, Anne, et al.

For sources on the Web, make the full citation as complete as possible. Follow the rules for book citations, including the following information where possible: author’s inverted name, full title of the work, city of publication and publisher (if known), date of the document or last revision (if known). Also record the URL followed by the date that it was first accessed, in parentheses.

If the date is not on the home page of the site, check the source code for the page. In the example below, the earlier date would be the date of the site’s creation.

In the full citation, include the designation [online], [online database], [online edition] or a similar phrase if the word online does not appear in the title of the document.
