Citation, Documentation of Sources

Q. I am doing a research paper for my history class in college and I am supposed to put in the Chicago form of bibliography and citations. I am trying to find the way that I am supposed to put this in but it is proving very difficult at the moment. Can you help on this?

A. You can find samples of Chicago-style footnotes and bibliography at this site at our “Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide.”
