Tips for this reference type

  • See Manual 14.134.
  • Exhibition catalogues are referenced in the same way as other published books.
  • For resources with more than one author, consult the About Chicago A page.
  • The Chicago Manual of Style no longer requires the place of publication to be included in most book citations. See Manual 14.30.
  • Sections of a catalogue may be treated like a chapter in a book.
  • The abbreviation 'exh. cat.' is used in footnotes (see above), however may be omitted if the nature of the resource is made clear in the text.
  • If an editor is listed instead of an author, add 'ed.' after their name. If a curator is listed, use 'cur.' in place of 'ed.'
