[History] Questions

[flsweetheart422]

General Issue:
I am in the middle of working on my Russian Revolution EE, and I am having trouble finding primary sources to refer to in my paper. Ideally I'd love to find some Bolshevik propaganda, but any good primary source site would be great. So far the best site I have found is [url="http://www.soviethistory.org/"]http://www.soviethistory.org/[/url].

Citation issue:
One of the sources that I am using is The Russian Revolution (Essential Readings in History). Previously, I had been citing all quotes from this source as (Miller, p. #). I just realized that each section is written by a different historian. Am I safe citing each reference as I am, or should I reference the original work the exerpt was taken from? Or should I just evaluate this source and mention that it is a collection?

The book I'm refering to just in case you're curious: [url="http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Revolution-Essential-Readings-Blackwell/dp/0631216391/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230161039&sr=8-1"]http://www.amazon.com/Russian-Revolution-E...1039&sr=8-1[/url]

There's a section there about many authors. Chicago Manual Style.

I'm not sure which citation style you're using.

I think you should include the actual author, as Miller is obviously just the editor of the book. It's more like a collection. The Chicago Manual has a section for that.
