Elizabeth Shown Mills is a well-known and highly respected author, editor and professional genealogist in the United States and the entire world. She recently created a website called Evidence Explained: Historical Analysis, Source and Citation Usage (www.evidenceexplained.com) to highlight her book about citing sources from artifacts to cyberspace.
The site has a number of very useful features:
* The Home Page provides links to eight QuickLesson articles that highlight different aspects of record use, evidence analysis and source citation.
* The Book Content tab has links to the Foundation chapters, Resource chapters (but not all are hot-linked).
* The Sample Text Pages tab has some sample Pages from the book.
* The Sample QuickCheck tab has sample QuickCheck source citation model templates.
* The Forums tab has links to three separate forums where readers can ask questions and discuss these topics: Citation Issues; Evidence Analysis Issues; Record Use and Interpretation. Users have to register and/or login in order to post comments.
Elizabeth also has a Facebook page for Evidence Explained at https://www.facebook.com/evidenceexplained where she posts daily about the record, evidence and source issues.
