Upgrade StorageHow can I get archival information show in the bibliography with APA style?
Hi
I am using APA 6th edition in Zotero and would like to have the archival information ("Archive:" and "Loc. in Archive:") show in the bibliography. I have tried using "Document", "Manuscript" and "Letter" as item type but none seem to show the archival details in the bibliography (though I have provided the info in the original entry). Does anyone have a solution for this? (I guess this might be an issue for others who are bound to APA and are doing primary research with Zotero). Grateful for any help.

You can fairly easily modify the CSL style for your own needs. First, download the apa.csl file from here:
http://zotero.org/styles/apa
Second, open the file in a text editor (Notepad, TextEdit, etc.) and find this code:
<macro name="access"><choose>
<if type="thesis report" match="any">
And change it to:
<macro name="access"><choose>
<if type="thesis report manuscript personal_communication" match="any">
Third, change the Style name and Style ID at the top of the style so that your changes aren’t overwritten by future updates to the official apa.csl Style. General instructions for editing styles are here:

This change will show the Archive and Archive Location fields for Manuscript and Letter (generally, you shouldn’t use Document if possible).
