Hi Alison, I know you haven't had a chance to get much up, but I thought I'd try just going off the outline you have right now! Have you thought about maybe pulling the commonalities out into their own sections? I feel like each probably has a lot you can say about it, although climate and digitization are probably very closely related, so they might benefit from the metaphorical breathing room of standing on their own. I'm looking forward to seeing more stuff on your page! It's a really cool topic and not an area we've talked about much. Best, Other Allison

Hey Allison, for sure, the four subject headings under "common archival considerations" are where I was thinking of diverging. I'm trying to think of way to pull out "dislocation/ missing records" which for many of the countries is a result of both colonization and war... I'm wondering if I should just make that ("dislocation") a topic unto itself, in addition to colonization. Hm. Thanks for your comments! -Alison

If it's a big concern then I think pulling it out is totally valid! Also, I think your page is looking great. I like how you've added mission/materials/challenges under each country heading where appropriate. The delineation works really well.

Awesome, thanks, Allison. I'm glad you think so re: the breakdown for each country -- I had considered just lumping everything together but found that made my writing too scattered.
