Occasionally, printed and illustrated Regional History Series books are published. In these cases, most chapters include photographs, drawings, maps, and sometimes charts to illustrate the subject. Chapters normally include between seven and 10 illustrations. The first text page of the chapter is always opposite a full page illustration that visually compliments the subject of the chapter. For example, a chapter that is biographical will normally begin with a portrait of the individual. Each illustration must include a caption the describes the content of the image, the date, and the source. Captions should include relevant details that may not be stated in the chapter text.
