This template can be used to cite a [http://findingaids.loc.gov/ Library of Congress finding aid] in an article.
Articles that use this template are added to the tracking category [[:Category:Articles_that_include_text_from_Library_of_Congress_finding_aids]], which is a [[Wikipedia:Hidden_category#Hiding_categories|hidden category]].
==Usage==
This template was originally created to be used with the [[Wikipedia:Tools/RAMP_editor|RAMP editor]]; if a Library of Congress finding aid is used as the RAMP editor's input text, this template will be automatically added as a reference following the '''<code><nowiki>==Timeline==</nowiki></code>''' section of an article, if present; otherwise, it will be added to the '''<code><nowiki>==Notes and references==</nowiki></code>''' section following an empty '''<code><nowiki>{{Reflist}}</nowiki></code>'''. Although the RAMP editor will attempt to prepopulate the values of the template's parameters, '''prepopulated values should always be verified against the original finding aid'''.
This template includes two required parameters ('''url''' and '''title''') and three optional parameters ('''author''', '''date''', and '''accessdate'''), and it includes a default call to the {{tl|PD-notice}} template. The '''url''' parameter is used to create an external link using the finding aid's title. The value of this parameter can be found in the '''Finding Aid Permalink''' field of the '''Collection Summary''' tab on an LOC finding aid webpage (see, for example, the finding aid for the [http://findingaids.loc.gov/db/search/xq/searchMfer02.xq?_id=loc.mss.eadmss.ms998024&_faSection=overview&_faSubsection=did&_dmdid=d4639e6 Charles Eames and Ray Eames Papers].
