Challenges category and Project Naming

Hi Alexandra, I agree with Chelsea that this is a great start so far, and I am really interested to see how it develops. I am especially interested in the Intellectual and Cultural Property section as well as the section on the Truth and Reconciliation Committee. One category that I think could be reworked is Challenges. I think the two sections beneath this category (Aboriginal Archives and Archives with Holdings Concerning Aboriginal peoples) do have their challenges, as you point out. But, by focusing on challenges alone, you might miss some of the strengths of Aboriginal Archives and changes in theory and practice, which is the angle you've taken with some of the other sections. I also think that Intellectual and Cultural Property could be seen as a Challenge and might belong under that category if you decide to keep it.

Have you heard of Project Naming, a participatory description project? http://www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/inuit/index-e.html

Hi Cristen, Thanks for your thoughtful comment; I really appreciate it! It made me reconsider the organization of the wiki. I agree with you, I'm not really comfortable with "challenges" so I'm considering "Unique characteristics of Aboriginal Records" and "Approaches to Aboriginal Archives and Records" which can cover some of the same topics, but don't have the same connotations as "challenges" And thank you so much for the link! I will absolutely use that in my wiki.
