This guide gives a few suggestions to get you started and to give you an idea what to look for. It is by no means comprehensive. If you are a coursework student, check your LMS to see if your lecturer has provided website recommendations.
Tip: if you want to limit your Google search results to organisational, governmental, or educational websites, use Google's advanced search option to limit the site or domains to .org, .gov, .edu.
Some website suggestions to get you started:
The Grimwade Centre for Cultural Materials Conservation uses the AICCM Instructions for Authors and the AICCM Reference Manual, based on the Harvard (Author/Date) Style. You can access the manual from the Conservation Resources or Subject Guidelines on your LMS.
