Chicago Citation Style, 18th Edition

A University of Lethbridge Library guide to Chicago Manual of Style citations.

Government Website
(Sections 14.170-14.176)

The format of citations for government information found online depends on many factors, including which government or government department provides the information, who authored it, if it is available in print, and what kind of information it is (e.g. report, bill, statute, committee proceeding, statistic). Given the complexity of government information citations, this guide does not provide examples. We recommend that you consult The Chicago Manual of Style Online.

Sections 14.194-14.197 of the Manual provide examples of Canadian government documents specifically, including legal cases and statutes.
