Questions answered in this file

Is a list of URLs a citation ledger?

It is a start, but a useful ledger also identifies the exact item, page, version, provenance, claim supported, and important limitations.

Can one source support several claims?

Yes. Give claims separate identifiers and connect each to the relevant passage, rather than assuming the entire document supports everything.

Should I publish my full ledger?

Review privacy, restrictions, and rights first. A public citation list may omit sensitive internal details while preserving useful retrieval information.

How do I record conflicting accounts?

Keep separate entries with exact passages and provenance. Record the conflict and uncertainty rather than overwriting the less convenient account.

Does a catalog entry verify a case detail?

No. It describes an archival item or collection. Review the underlying record and cite what it actually supports.
