Manitoba archives

Thanks for the input! I chose to do a more general overview mostly because I oddly couldn't find much information about the provincial archives itself, and also because I was interested in how the all the archives worked together in a system. I took a look at your page, and I think that having a section listing various archives in the province could be beneficial, just to give the information about the provincial institution some context?

I definitely need to rework how my page is organized (I think some of the clarity issues come from more than just a coding error!) I was thinking of condensing it to have a section on each major archives, instead of having it split into a history/ current section, and then adding a legislation section and a section that lists all the little archives that there isn't a lot of information on. Do you think that would help? Thanks for the pointer on the TRC records! I will take a look at that.

I do think that reorganization would help, part of the clarity problem likely comes from the repetition of headings between the history and current sections, losing where you are between them. A legislation section would also be great. And thanks for the suggestion of adding a listing of other archives, I will start compiling one!

The reorganization makes much more sense now, good job. Since you're interested in how the system works together, have you thought about adding anything about archival education in the province? I think U of M has a good Archival Science program.

Glad to hear it makes more sense now! That's a really good point about adding a section about archival education - I think it will help round everything out.

hi again, you're doing great, so close! One of the other students talked me out of presenting links using "here," which I started out doing on my page. (For example, The complete act can be found here (with here linked).) When I reworked it, it did end up sounding less awkward, you could just move the links to the first appearance of the name of the act, your header, for example. Hope that's helpful, I know it's last minute. The addition of images really works to break things up and bring some visual interest to the page.

I hadn't really thought of that, but you're right - it is kind of awkward. I'll try and re-work them!
