Chicago/Turabian Referencing Guide

• Unpublished interviews (including those you have conducted yourself) should usually be cited only in notes. Include them in your bibliography if they are critical to your argument or frequently cited.
• Include the following information: name of the interviewee and interviewer, place and date of the interview (if known), location of any tapes or transcripts (if known).
• Published interviews should be cited by citing the source where they were published (book, journal article, etc.).

Note:

• Conversations, unpublished letters, emails and text messages are all unrecoverable by your reader. Therefore they are classed as personal communications.
• Cite personal communications only in notes.
• Include a name, type of communication, and a date.

Note:

You can also cite a personal communication directly in your text, rather than in your notes, by including key elements in a sentence.
