Footnote, authors, and new section?

Hi Katie,

Great work thus far! I just have a few small suggestions...

Your footnote number 12 is placed halfway through the word "letters" in the case study section of your article.

I was wondering if you could provide more information about the authors you highlight, such as their time spans and most famous works? This could help give more context to your examination of their archives and why their archives are significant today.

Also, if you are looking to make your wiki article longer you could include a section on Canadian literary archives. I see that you have already found Catherine Hobbs' article "New Approaches to Canadian Literary Archives." I'm not sure if you have already seen these resources, but UBC's RBSC has a "Literary Archives Guide" produced by the Canadian government. Library and Archives Canada also has a webpage that contains information exclusively on literary archives that may be helpful.

A few years ago when I was in London I stopped at the British Library. They have a great collection of literary archives... I could have spent forever looking at their Jane Austen exhibit! Perhaps you could mention the library's collection or the role of exhibits in literary archives?

Thanks Chelsea! I like your idea of adding a little bit of info about the authors whose archives I highlight. At the very least, I should provide links to such information. And thanks for the suggested resources on Canadian literary archives. These will be helpful, especially since the consensus on this discussion page seems to be that I should have a section on Canada (I promise I was hoping to do that!).

I had not thought about discussing the exhibition of literary archives, but that could definitely be interesting. Perhaps it could be part of a section on public access as you suggested in your other comment? Hmm...
