General thoughts

Overall, great page! There's quite a few concepts that could have external links but I'm guessing you're like me and haven't gotten to those yet! Especially links to the other Municipal Archives if you're not going to include more information on those. I don't know if you can expand on Mandate and Mission - or maybe just make it a subheading under something else. As it is, it seems a bit short for its own section. Do they have any notable private records? I'm biased of course but it could be interesting to have some details about people/businesses that have deposited their records there. Otherwise, I really liked the Holdings section spellcheck: "The Hudson’s Bay Company first bean to compile their records in 1796 for internal use." There are a few sections that seem a bit slim but I assume those are ones that you're already planning to bulk up: sections under University of Manitoba, Uni. of Winnipeg and Legislation.

Thanks for the suggestions! I fixed the Mandate&Mission section - hopefully it flows a bit better now? You're correct that the slim sections you mentioned are just waiting for me to type up the info I have on them.

I'll look up some notable private records, I'm sure they'll be some interesting ones. I'm thinking Louis Riel would probably be a good person to mention...

I like the layout/organization of your page now - I definitely think it reads easier. One nitpicky thing: in most of your headings you says Type of Archives: Example (Provincial Archives- the Archives of Manitoba etc.) However you don't follow this format for University Archives, presumably because you talk about more than one example. I would probably suggest just making your headings Provincial/Municipal/University etc. Archives and leaving off the specific names. However, you want to do it though, just check the consistency.

Otherwise your page looks great!

I'm glad to hear it makes more sense now! Thanks for pointing out my heading consistency issues, I'll get along to fixing them soon!
