Comments on the initial darft
Hi Chelsea, Thanks for the good suggestions! I am leaning toward making copyright its own heading, and you made a good point that even if I don't have enough to say about it, others could expand on it in the future. I'm also leaning toward adding a section on literary archives in Canada, as I think I have enough sources now.
Photos are definitely needed on my entry, and the case studies do seem like the most logical place. I know there are pictures out there for the Rushdie archives at Emory University (which had gotten a decent amount of press). I'm hoping to embed the video related to his archives, which is currently just a link. I just need to figure out the copyright situation.
Okay, Katie, now I am starting to feel a little guilty
I realize that you and I have both been suggesting that Lisa narrow down and focus on just the provincial archives of Ontario in order to make her topic more manageable and focused, but the class (myself included) has been pushing you to expand your section to all of North America (and beyond, in some instances). I am rethinking that a bit now because, of course, there is plenty to talk about just related to the U.S. and literary archives (heck, you could do a whole wiki on the Harry Ransom Center stuff alone!).
So, I am backtracking and saying that I think that while Canadian archival literature certainly has interesting things to offer on the topic of literary archives, for the purposes of this wiki it might be biting off a little too much to cover all of North America, and if you decide to focus only on the U.S., I am sure that will still be great!
Hi Katie,
I agree with Chelsea! Now that I am trying to tackle the surmountable task of including everything I can about the Archives of Ontario, I have come to realize that broader does not equal better. I recommend incorporating a small paragraph about Canada and remained focused on the U.S. There is a lot to cover there as it is.
