Hi Maggie,

Wow! This looks really great, and having been following the development of your page since the start I am really pleased with how its turned out. But I'm also a little biased since I love history...still, I really think you've done an excellent job at covering all the main points in such a massive topic.

Just a few minor things I noted:

  • In your introduction there's a sentence ("There are four main regions in medieval Europe that saw significant change in their archival practices: England, Italy, and Continental Europe.") that says there are 4 main regions, however you only list 3.
  • University Archives section - "Later, the Proctors of Oxford University reserved the records in chests, to which only the Proctors had keys." I believe this has a typo and should be "preserved," not "reserved."
  • I may be wrong, but I always included Italy in Continental Europe, however you have it separated and appearing before this section. Maybe include it within or afterwards? Or even rename the "Continental Europe" section to something along the lines of "Other European Regions," etc.

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm trying to figure out what to name the Continental Europe section as I agree with you that Italy is part of Continental Europe. I renamed it "Francia and the Rest of Continental Europe". Not sure if that's the best but that seems to be what I talk about in that section.
