Citing Letters in Bibliography
Hey guys,
I'm currently writing a historical dissertation for which my university has its own (strange) referencing style. The university library has provided me with a basic Zotero code for the style, though it doesn't really cover all types of sources. I need to cite multiple letters and need the bibliographical reference to display the following information (in this order):
- Name of Author
- Name of Recipient
- Title
- Complete Date (Day - Month -Year)
- Location in Archive
- Archive Name
Can anyone help? I've searched through the forums but haven't found anything that helps.
Cheers!

If not and you know a little bit of basic HTML/XML, you can add these things yourself.
For letters specifically see this: https://aurimasv.github.io/z2csl/typeMap.xml#map-letter

<else-if type="personal_communication">
<group delimiter=". ">
<names variable="recipient">
<name delimiter-precedes-last="always" initialize-with="" name-as-sort-order="all"/>
</names>
<text variable="title"/>
<date form="text" date-parts="year-month-day" variable="issued"/>
</group>
</else-if>
This will render:
Ideally, the citation would read:
Author(s), Year: Title. URL (accessed: DD.MM:YYYY)
Thanks in advance!

This will render the date like you want it. Adapt as necessary.
<group prefix=" (" suffix=")" delimiter=" ">
<text term="accessed"/>
<date variable="accessed">
<date-part name="day"/>
<date-part name="month" form="numeric" suffix=":"/>
<date-part name="year" suffix="."/>
</date>
</group>
