Hi Kathy,
My new Evidence! Style (by Elizabeth Shown Mills) Quicksheet which focuses on citing Ancestry.com databases and images. The yearbook you mention is therefore an image shown on Ancestry.com. To cite it, it suggests: “the title of the yearbook” Digital images. Ancestry.com. http://www.ancestry.com : 2010 (or whatever year it scanned the image) This type would be classified as an image of (a) original records or (b) pages previously published in print or issued on film. On Ancestry, did you press S on your keyboard when you have the cursor on the image? It should open a new window giving you a source of this particular image and you can copy their given citation. Hope this helps you to decide from the Source Writer.

This is what I use for digital images of books.

The yearbook gives her address in a listing of all students so I would like to cite it as a source for her residence at that time. I am perplexed as to what I should choose in the Source Writer. Artifact, book, periodical, and school record are all types I have considered. Ancestry doesn't provide a citation for the yearbook, just for the database "U.S. School Yearbooks, 1880-2012", although it does give the name of the college and the title of the yearbook. Should I page through the yearbook images until I get to the title page, and cite it as a book? But I don't have the book, I just have an online image accessed through Ancestry, and I thought you were supposed to cite what you have in your hand.
