QSA is an abbreviation for Queensland State Archives.
Usage
The Queensland State Archives organises its records into a hierarchy:
- Items are individual documents
- Series are sets of similar items
- Agencies are the organisations that create the series
This template creates a {{cite web}} citation to individual Series records in the online catalogue of Queensland State Archives , a useful searchable reference source on Queensland Government agencies. It covers local government authorities, schools, prisons, hospitals, cemeteries, etc.
This template should not be used for Agency or Items in the QSA catalogue. Instead use Template:Cite QSA Agency or Template:Cite QSA Item.
Parameters
- There are three unnamed parameters
- Agency ID number. Mandatory. It can be found in the Agency ID field in the entry or at the end of the URL.
- Agency name. Mandatory. It can be found in the Title field in the entry.
- Access date. Optional but recommmended. Usually today's date or whenever you looked at the entry.
For example, the entry for the Coorparoo Shire Council can be referenced using:
{{Cite QSA Agency|609|Coorparoo Shire Council|20 August 2013}}
resulting in:
"Agency ID 609, Coorparoo Shire Council". Queensland State Archives. Retrieved 20 August 2013.
Or without an accessdate
{{Cite QSA Agency|609|Coorparoo Shire Council}}
resulting in:
"Agency ID 609, Coorparoo Shire Council". Queensland State Archives.
- Error checking is not done at all. Specifying an incorrect ID will result in a link to a non-existing record.
