Hey Allison, Great topic. I like the way your organization flows, particularly in the "Reason for" section (e.g., differentiation between documents made about/by a nation/group) Just a few initial thoughts: - It might make sense to link to the general Wikipedia page about Repatriation (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repatriation) either at the end (external links) or at the beginning (link out from the first mention of "repatriation"), if only to help to place your page in a larger context. - Incorporate more sources throughout? e.g., "Often colonial regimes will take their records when they withdraw from a country." <-- I assume multiple sources are affiliated with this? - Though it's not on my page (Archives in Southeast Asia) yet, Malaysia (and potentially several more countries) stipulate this as a current challenge for their archives (boo colonization). Once I put up the relevant information, perhaps we can add each other to the "See also" sections : ) Impressive work so far! -Alison W

Hi Alison, I've been wondering about adding your page as a see also! I will go ahead and do it now because they're definitely connected. I will also add some more specific notation to the section talking about colonial records since, as you pointed out, currently that section has citations for specific examples but not for the broader contextual discussion. Thanks for the feedback! Allison
