Citing email with state archivist

I've ordered your book but haven't yet received it, so I'm just being impatient :-)

I emailed the state archives with a question about an entry on a 1785 property tax list.

I think I can figure out the citation, but I'm leery of including the (official) email address of the person who responded to my query since these are not published on the archives site and queries are submitted via a webform.

Centavo:

When you cite the person, you would also be citing the person's position at the archives, right? In that case, the email address you use could be that of the archives itself. Or, in the field for an email address, you could simply say something like "contact via webform query" and give that URL.
