A few suggestions

A few suggestions

Hi Kathryn,

This is a great draft! I really like your exploration of military archives and secret service archives. I think you did a good job writing in a "wiki-style" (not too formal or academic). You have done a great job with the external links - I have checked them all to make sure they take the reader to the appropriate pages (which they do!).

I do have a few suggestions though:

- Perhaps you could create a short introduction to the wiki before the table of contents section. The introduction could just be a few brief sentences that say what the wiki article is about before jumping into the content?

- Would it be possible to highlight some of the databases you have listed? For example, you've given readers a long list of databases that contain Canadian military records. Perhaps instead of just listing them you could write a one to two sentence blurb about what the sites contain. This would help give context to your links.

- I like your discussion on the problems associated with having so many different non-government repositories for military records. Would it be possible for you to link to or discuss particular examples some of these archives? The first one that jumps to mind for me is The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre.

Thanks Chelsea,

I will definitely be adding an introduction and conclusion before this assignment is through. You make a good point about providing more info on the databases. I'll get on that. If I have time I'll also try to incorporate your idea of providing local examples of archival overlap.

Thanks again.
