How should we cite archival materials, which can be in various media and formats, different from regular literature such as books and articles? In recent work, an analysis of descriptive and metadata standards for archives suggested that they were influenced by the British standard BS6371:1983, and a case study of citation in a Japanese journal published for over 90 years was shown. Basically, articles published in academic journals are supposed to follow academic style guides besides submission rules. However, no comprehensive research has been conducted in Japan regarding citation systems of archival materials in style guides. In this work, we focus on the citation systems of archival materials in the two style guides, and try to show their changes and origins of them, and to clarify their characteristics.
