Writing and researching for history undergraduates
See the excellent website created by Patrick Rael of Bowdoin College:
http://academic.bowdoin.edu/WritingGuides/
Another site, created by Todd Carney of Southern Oregon University, can also serve as a useful guide: http://www.sosc.edu/history/carney/writing.htm

Proper Citation Format
On proper footnoting, see the Chicago manual of style, but for quick online reference check the following:
http://www.wisc.edu/writing/Handbook/DocChicago.html
http://www.dianahacker.com/resdoc/history/footnotes.html

The Oberlin College Archives has the best example that I have found of how to cite primary source archival material:
