Question for the writers...how would I properly footnote the text of a treaty in a paper (Chicago style)? The treaty in question is the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, FWIW.

Connemara . . . you need to get a reference book, that will explain how to do footnotes. When I posted a photo from a book, it went like this: Reproduced from the book Debut: Yves Saint Laurent 1962 by Laruence Benaim (New York: Harry N. Abrams, 2002).

Look up 'footnotes / citations' online. You'll find instructions.

You can also find copies of the various style guides (APA, MLA) at your campus library should you not wish to pay for one.

According to CSM, "the titles of treaties are enclosed in quotation marks, as though they were titles of chapters. Subsequent note citations to treateies are shortened in much the ssame way as are those to articles or chapters in books."
The top-level citation is the the bound volume or compendium in which the treaty is archived.

Since I do a lot of scientific writing, I use EndNote software to format, and re-format, all my references. It's a god-send.

Cite the URL and list the date last accessed. I don't have the Chicago manual with me, but that's basically how you would do it.

Using Humanitarian style in CMS,

Geoffery Rothwell, "Economist Studies Nuclear Safety in Russia," from Standford University News Service, April 7, 1996, at http://news-service.stanford.edu/pr/...lutonium.html; accessed April 2, 2007. This assumes you don't have the hard copy and are using the online verison.

Hope this worked out for you. I was off on paternity leave until recently. 5 month-olds don't understand the importance of online communities.
