The rest of the sources can be from anywhere, as long as it is scholarly. Maps and pictures can be used as primary sources (not included as one of the pages), and please use one of each. Use some books as well.
Quotes should have quotation marks. For Chicago style, instead of having the footnotes, refer all quotes to a separate page. This page is different from the works cited/bibliography page.
