NOTE: I think I cited these correctly in Chicago style (using whatever information was available for each source), but it's been a while since I've used Chicago for citations. I did use the EasyBib citation generator for help, and checked each citation after. I didn't notice any issues, again with the caveat that I'm a little rusty in my use of Chicago style for citations.
