Hi Ms. Spooner,

great choice of topic and a really interesting one, especially for a wiki. I like how your overview goes right into what Archives are (a tough task that never gets old). I like how you narrowed it down right away to what you want to talk about, "place", and didn't get lost in a big explanation of the other definitions of archives. Your topic easily lends itself to images which I see you have selected and incorporated nicely. There's a good balance between the theoretical and concrete, as the concept of place, while a tangible thing, is nevertheless also a concept. Looking at your contemporary definitions outline I get a heart attack at the thought of having to cover all of that heavy stuff in the time we have left, but good choice still as far as content. All in all, you have chosen great headings that encapsulates this topic more or less, and you've made it relevant with modern case studies (e.g., Riot Grrrl archives).

One thing I want to Even though everyone and their goldfish knows who Professor Duranti is, perhaps a very brief intro to contextualize her as a speaker would be a good idea? I had similar comments on my use of "talking heads and academics", and it makes sense in the context of a wiki, where it is supposed to be more for a general audience (as far as I understand, apologies if I'm wrong about this).

Obviously looking forward to seeing this wiki develop and come into full bloom.

Take care,

V

Thanks for the encouragement!

As I mentioned to Hannah, adding all the right links is happening in stages. Good to know I have both your eagle eyes on this, though.
