Citation Guide
The History Department's Concise Guide to Essay Writing includes several pages on footnotes and bibliography layout.
This should be accessible via your course's Learn site.
UC History uses the Chicago, notes and bibliography (NB), style, which their guide is based on. For a range of related referencing examples this Purdue University Online Writing Lab (OWL) is also well worth exploring.
