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
