Cemeteries website overhauled how to cite

Question

I need advise, I have been waiting for this local site to come back online because the city of Augusta Georgia did a big overhaul on it. And now the site has finally become active again however I’m not sure how to cite the individuals that I’m entering into the African-American cemeteries in my area here. Prior to their overhaul, I was able to just copy and paste the link of the site directly when I was researching an individual and it would give me a direct link to their profile on Augusta site. Now when I copy and paste the link to make a citation, it takes me directly only to the search engine and not to the individual anymore. Can you help me determine how to site this and also can we make note that this is back online after about six months off-line? Any advice and help you can give me help, kindly..  http://appweb2.augustaga.gov/GravesideProject/Graveside.html

Answer 1

A lot of online databases don't give the option to have a direct link to a specific results page. What I do in those cases is give as many elements of a good citation as I can.

In this instance, I'd make a citation like this:

"Augusta, Georgia Graveside" database, Augusta Parks and Recreation, http://appweb2.augustaga.gov/GravesideProject/Graveside.html. Search result for Alfred Abraham.

Answer 3

Other comments speak to what to do in general.

In the specific case of this Augusta website, I would click the link for "Printer friendly version" which does generate a unique URL and then cite that. Admittedly it's less pretty, but it's reproducible.

Edit: here's the link for Alfred Abraham. http://appweb2.augustaga.gov/GravesideProject/GS-Print.html#?ResidentID=98959
