Comments on the initial darft

Thanks Chelsea! I have read Catherine Hobbs and found them very interesting, but did not quit manage to fit what she had to say into the entry. I am planning on adding a section on Canada though, so those articles will probably be relevant for that topic.

I have also read and thought about the practice of authors donating their papers while still living. It's becoming increasingly common and raises some interesting issues (Does their awareness of the destiny of their papers into the archives affect how and what they keep? Should the author give input into the selection, arrangement, and description of their fonds?). Also, a lot has been written and debated about the market that exists for authors' papers. Repositories that have the money spend big bucks on more well known authors papers. I haven't figured out how to work any of this into the entry either, but may find one as it evolves.
