An annotated bibliography is required for all categories. Your annotated bibliography must follow these
requirements:
 

1. List all sources that you consulted in developing your entry.

2. Combine photos or other materials from the same collection into a single citation.  See nhd.org/annotated-bibliography   

3. Separate your bibliography into two sections: one for primary sources and one for secondary sources.

4. Do not attach primary or secondary materials to your annotated bibliography.

5. Do not include your annotated bibliography in the word count.

Each citation must include a brief annotation. The purpose of the annotation is to provide information about your
research process, not to provide analysis to circumvent the word count.

Each annotation must be no more than two or three sentences. The annotation should explain the following:

1. How you used the source

2. How the source helped you to understand the topic

3. Use annotations to explain your reasoning for classifying any sources that are not clearly primary or secondary.

4. Classifying a source as both primary and secondary is inappropriate
