Couple of Suggestions

Couple of Suggestions

Hello Morgan,

Just a couple of suggestions:

  • bold "Early modern archives" in your first sentence to stick with Wiki formatting
  • perhaps mention other parts of the world in your opening paragraph, as right now it focuses solely on Europe
  • do you have a reference for "Many such systems housed..."? Is it Ketelarr (he does kind of mention it on p. 204)
  • perhaps mention how archival practices varied regionally in the Middle Ages (e.g. registers is some areas but not others)
  • I agree with Kelsey that if you can find any information on North America and Africa at this time that may add to the Wiki (though I know it's not the easiest thing to find!)

Side note: Do you want me to mention the Avignon papacy in my page under religious archives?

Thank you for all your comments! They're very helpful.

In reply to your side note: you of course don't have to mention Avignon since its not possible to cover everything...but if you have some extra time I'd recommend adding it in. Following the Schism it turned into a bit of a battle over custody of the records so its interesting information to include.
