Discussion

Hi Mr. W,

this is a follow-up comment to my original one: your overview is concise and gets across what your wiki is about. For some reason - and I apologize because I can't remember exactly how your page looked like when I commented a week ago - I still think your overview could use a bit more "meat" (for example, mention real briefly the variations in Canadian and American archival practice), but having said that, it does the job and gets the reader into your wiki right away. I would like to see a bit more in the rise of archival consciousness section regarding what archival consciousness means, although, this doesn't have to be extensive, but just to get a bit more of an understanding of what this means in the American and Canadian contexts.

Otherwise, I think your wiki is coming along nicely, and looking forward to the finished product tomorrow.

Take care,

V

Hello my fellow pod mate,

This is an addendum to my prior posting as I was literally thrown off the computer by a heathen (also known as my sister) who supposedly needed it more than myself. Hence, the abruptness of the last posting, sorry if it seemed rude, it was definitely not mean to do any harm.

I wanted to say in the last post that I also thought you're "challenges" and final section on records management are great and do a really nice job of wrapping up your wiki (at least as it is now). I think you identify the major issues facing modern archives, and your discussion of records management is a nice segue into what the near (and realistic) future holds for archives.

I didn't emphasize enough in my last post how much I am looking forward to the midnight draft tomorrow (wikis are always evolving, hence, perhaps not ever final?), because I am most definitely looking forward to it.

Take care,

V
