Citing Artifacts from a Digital Archive

The citation will have two parts, the first part providing information about the artifact itself (the source), and the second providing information about the website/ digital archive it is held in (the container). If the artifact has no title, you can provide a descriptive title. If the artifact has additional identifiable featured (like a document number) it is recommended that you also include this information too.

Many examples of citation of items from a digital archive are available on the MLA Style Center on the link shown below.
