Hey, Kelly!
I definitely like it so far. It has a tight focus, and good information, that can lead to a great wiki. Now pardon me while I give advice that contradicts what I just said.
I don't know what the literature for faith-based archives looks like beyond what we read for class. Is it worth it, for you, to add sections for outreach, history web presence, and other typical archival topics? I think the wiki could benefit from it. I also think, however, that due to the peculiarity of faith based archives, those particular topics may not exist in scholarly writing. Something to consider in the still-early stages, I suppose.
Good luck!
Hi Rosie,
Thanks for the feedback. I've tried to include a little about outreach, access and other archival topics in my case studies. The literature on faith-based archives (at least in North America) isn't that current and there is little about outreach. The TNA's Religious Archive Group has done a lot more current and relevant work on typical archival practices in faith-based archives. Archival websites also talk about their outreach as well. I'm hoping this will come across a bit better in the case studies.

Kelly,
Oh my gosh, you added a lot! The page is really impressive! I adore it, it's very broad, and you obviously worked hard on it.
A couple of general notes: I noticed some minor grammatical errors, nothing serious. Also, I noticed your Native American section is still blank. It's an important topic, and a big one. I'm kinda torn between wanting you to cut it (for your sanity), or filling it out (for the strength of the page). It's definitely a rabbit hole situation, and if you're wavering, I'd suggest just giving a short blurb.
Everything else is very strong. You're doing well.
Good luck!
Hi Rosie,
Thanks for the feedback. My page has a lot of spelling/grammer errors, correcting those will be the last step! I finally finished the section on First Nations which kind of morphed into a section on social justice and the TRC. If you or others have any thoughts on it I'd like to hear them.
