Other citation styles
Historians generally use the Chicago Manual of Style or its derivative, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations which is commonly known as Turabian after the manual’s author. Chicago is the standard style used for book publishing in North America, so books will generally use Chicago, even in the disciplines that use APA or MLA.
