Sources are importants, multiples and can be shared. They are often shared between events. Otherwise, we may group them under a repository (archive, librairie, folder, etc ...)

One possibility

  1. event seizure : Death - 1809-05-12 - New-York, NY, USA
  2. we add a source : Death certificate of X (died on 1809-05-12)
  3. related to a repository : Country Archives of New-York - call number: 6Mi5202
  4. we validate seizures
  5. we may add date (1809-05-13), volume, page and source fiability. This informations will be only availables between the event (Death of Miss X) and this source. They will be used on Detailed reports as EndNotes.
