First thoughts

This looks like it's going to be a really great page! You've done a good job going into to all the practical/ theoretical issues around fine arts archives. I also really liked the bit that touched on the differences/ similarities between museums and archives. Just a few suggestions:

  • I'm not sure if you were planning to do this since you have sections on Canadian and American fine arts archives, but I think some links to some current fine arts archives could be useful at a basic level just to show what an example of a fine arts archives, but also for interested readers to get a sense of what's out there currently
  • I agree with Adena that an overview section before the table of contents would help tie everything together

Christie,

Thanks for the comments. I definitely want to link and provide as examples some current/modern art-based archives on my page. I just haven't figured out which ones to include, as well as how to work out the information just yet. But I definitely agree it would be a helpful inclusion. Glad to know I am not the only one thinking in this direction.

I was just reading over your page again, and I thought I'd say that you've done a great job collecting links to a really diverse set of fine arts archives (both geographically and by the types of art they pertain to) - they're all so interesting! And the intro you've added really helps to set up the page.
