Tie topics together and FOI

Tie topics together and FOI

Hi Kathryn,

Your wiki is packed full of interesting information and is looking great so far. To help the reader get their bearings, I think it would be useful to provide a short introduction or a paragraph to tie together the Military and Secret Service Archives, explain why they are discussed together in the same Wiki, maybe their similarities, differences etc.

Under Secret Services Archives, perhaps you could include a section to answer the question that you ask in the introduction: " Can we provide access to their records without compromising their ability to operate effectively?" Possibly related to this, I think a section on Freedom of Information (which you mention in some sections) all by itself would nicely bring together Secret Services records, and the work of archivists as well as provide an answer to your question above.

Some tiny details: "Companies such as Ancestry also..." - Ancestry is hyperlinked elsewhere in the wiki but not here.

"Competition forces repositories to narrow they focus..." - narrow their focus?

Hey Cristen,

Thanks for catching those typos! I will definitely be putting in an introduction. You make a good point about FOI.
