Citation, Documentation of Sources

Q. I don’t see anything in your online guide about how to cite art exhibition catalogs. I frequently need to cite them. Did I miss it in the guide? If not, would you consider adding it to your guide? It would be helpful. Thanks.

A. Exhibition catalogs are cited like books. Please see CMOS 14.236. You can find this in the index under both “exhibitions” and “catalogs” or by typing either of those words into the Search box. (We’re teaching how to fish today.)

[This answer relies on the 17th edition of CMOS (2017) unless otherwise noted.]
