Review # 1 was written on 2010-10-16 00:00:00 Durand Adams Evidence Explained is the expanded version of Evidence! Citation & Analysis for the Family Historian , also written by Ms. Mills. It is an exhaustive style guide dealing with citations for history and genealogical research. Even though the opening chapters were basically a revision of Evidence!, they weren't as readable as that book. I think this was because of the style guide formatting, with numbered sections. However, for anyone who would like to cite images on a webserver or books on microfilm, even sound recordings held by the national archives as well as more regular source material, this manual is a treasure trove of information. Not only does it describe citation formats, but also the important things to consider about the materials themselves. For example, when citing the US census, some things to consider are whether the material referenced is the local or national copy, whether it is an index or not, and whether film, book, or website. Definitely an excellent reference book for anyone citing history sources.
