Upgrade StorageErrors in Art History style sheet
Hi,
I am very happy to see the Art History style sheet in the Zotero repository. Unfortunately, there are several errors in the style sheet and I would be immensely grateful if someone could help rectify them.
The Art History style guidelines are as follows:
BOOKS: Author’s Name, Title of Book, Place of Publication, Date of Publication.
EDITED BOOKS: Editor’s Name, ed., Title of Book, Place of Publication, Date of Publication.
ESSAYS IN JOURNALS: Author’s Name, ‘Title of Essay’, Title of Journal, Volume Number: Issue Number, Date of Publication, Page Numbers.
ESSAYS IN BOOKS: Author’s Name, ‘Title of Essay’, in Title of Book, ed. Editor’s Name, Place of Publication, Date of Publication, Page Numbers.
The Art History style sheet + examples for emulation are available here: https://arthistoryjournal.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Art-History-Style-Sheet.pdf
In order to detail on the errors I have detected, I provide specific examples below.

Regarding your last issue (essay in book short form): Make sure you have the title-short field filled in in Zotero, otherwise it just falls back to the full title.
New style:

I have worked with the new style for c. a week now and noticed that there are a few more issues. If you would be able to help me rectify these too, I would appreciate it very much.

Many many thanks again!

While I fixed the issue for book chapters, I don't see those other item types (letter and newspaper) anywhere explained in the guidelines.

Thank ever so much for swiftly fixing the issue with the book chapters.
And yes, it's true that there is no mention of letters and articles in daily papers in the guidelines, but since essential information is missing when referencing these items (probably just a mistake by the person who first set up the style), I thought it could be a good idea to fix it even though the guidelines don't mention this explicitly.
Many many thanks for your invaluable help!

Below are some recent references that show, I think, that what I suggested above would be a correct way of setting up the style for articles in daily papers and letters in archives.
It seems that the inclusion of the word "letter" in the reference to correspondence varies. I would prefer it if it was not included so that the "letter reference" can also be used for e.g. postcards and letter cards (strictly speaking they are not letters but belong to the latter category in this context).
ARTICLE IN DAILY PAPER: Thomas P. Ronan, ‘Rockefeller Acts to Expand Rights: He Submits 11 Proposals to Legislature for Laws’, New York Times, 11 April 1968.
LETTER (ARCHIVAL MATERIAL): Iqbal Geoffrey Letter to Elizabeth Glaeser, 22 June 1968, Asian Cultural Council Records, Grants, RG5 (FA1403), Box 838, Folder 4, Rockefeller Archive Center.
OR
William Strang to William Rothenstein, 13 January 1906, William Rothenstein papers, Houghton Library Harvard, bMSeng1148.
[BOTH EXAMPLES GIVE THE INFORMATION IN THIS ORDER: author of the letter; recipient; date; place in archive; name of archival institution]
LETTER (ARCHIVAL MATERIAL), SHORT FORM: Iqbal Geoffrey Letter to Elizabeth Glaeser, 22 June 1968.
The above references are from endnotes 1, 3 and 74 in an article published in Art History in 2022, doi: https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8365.12680 and from endnote 75 in an article published in 2020, doi: https://doi.org/10.1111/1467-8365.12519
Again, thank you ever so much!!
