About Quotation of Hypertexts

Since the project 'From Revolution to Reconstruction' is providing serious information regarding American History, there should be some information about how to quote texts within the USA-project. However, there is no standard as yet on the elements this meta-information (texts abut texts) should contain. Nevertheless we provide a set of information visitors of the USA-project will be able to use to quote hypertexts within the project.

Every index-page contains a link entitled "Quote" and refers to a document with the meta-data of that particular hypertext. You can use the data freely to cite. Derived from Dublin Core Element Set
