HOW TO SOURCE 40 LETTERS FROM GRANDMOTHER October 17, 2004 Bill, On the other hand, I tend to try to keep things simple. I'd make one source called "Grandmother's Letters Collection" and in the Main source entry describe what the collection includes: the number of letter, range of dates covered, subjects discussed, etc. Then, when citing the source of information in a particular letter for details for a particular person, I'd put the date or some other identifying factor in the Details area for that particular usage. You may even want to quote the pertinent passage in the Comments area of the Source Detail screen. If the letters are not all dated, you might number them arbitrarily. Kathie October 19, 2004 Hi Bill, I'd make the File a Master Source. When adding this source to specific events/names etc I'd put the specific page number(s) in the Source Detail. You may also want to add a transcript of the relevant section to the Source Detail Text.
