FAQ
In a Chicago footnote citation, when the author of a source is unknown (as is often the case with websites), start the citation with the title in a full note. In short notes and bibliography entries, list the organization that published it as the author.
For unpublished government documents, set them up like unpublished material, which usually requires giving the title and date of the item, series title (if applicable), name of the collection, and name of the depository (CMS 14.292).
If no person is named, use the government agency, department, or branch as a group author.
The Chicago Manual of Style (16th edition) requires either footnotes or endnotes for in-text citations and a bibliography to cite sources used. CMS includes two documentation systems: 1.) the Notes- Bibliography System (NB) (for humanities disciplines, such as literature, history, and the arts), and 2.)
