Hey guys, I've got 2 simple questions here regarding to how to reference newspaper and diary.
1, With a sentence retrieved from The Daily Colonist, July 14, 1908 (A Canadian newspaper), for example, do I need to specify the topic of the passage or page number ? Or can I simply stay with: The Daily Colonist, July 14, 1908.
2, Another resource I'm using is the diary of Mackenzie King, a Canadian prime minister.The database is officially called: Diaries of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King, MG26-J13. It is posted on the internet, and gives the information of item number, as well as the date of his recording. When I reference it, is this the right format to use: W.L.Mackenzie King, Diaries of Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King (Toronto: Rowsell & Hutchison, 1893), 50. Do I need to add the archive number or item number?
Here's a link to look at his diary online.
