     This document would be a good place to start and you can use web pages
in your documentation as a reference. Current writers guides have specific
guidelines for the use of web pages.


For the proper way to cite the web page address you should consult a MLA or
APA depending on what style you prefer. (If you don't have acess to either
just email me privately and I will copy down the proper form for you)

I totally agree with Zara Zina about using the pictures from the museum. In
this case it is, I beleive, to quote the the gentleman as the source. In
other words, you should just cite the museum as the source.

Zara Zina wrote further:
When using another's research, check out their sources and go there for your
primary and secondary sources.
The whole idea is to do the research yourself and learn from it.
You never know, you might find something even cooler to do.


This method is a great way to cut down on the amount of time you need to
spend to find the actual books you might use in your documentation. But you
should always keep in mind that people make mistakes and if you follow them
blindly then you also will be making the same mistakes. Sometimes these
people will come up with theories and after your research you have a
different one.....one more reason that you should do at least  precursory
research.
