Museum archives
Hey Taryn, out of curiosity -- where are you going to move the SAA museum archives guidelines section? Are you thinking of incorporating it into another section? And I think the last section on archival records vs museum objects is a great place to throw in some archival theory...
Hey Alexandra- I was thinking that I would make it its own section, and after Mariko's suggestion that I have a museum archives standards section, maybe I will combine the standards and guidelines into one section. I'll have to do some more research and see if I can find standards, as suggested by Mariko, but I think this might be a better plan than to have it nested under 'museum context'-- Thoughts on that? Also, you're absolutely right about talking about archival theory in the records vs. objects section. I'm sure there is also some theory re: museum objects, so I will read up on that and see if the two are at odds or not!
Yes, standards and guidelines makes perfect sense as its own section. Your wiki looks amazing! Is there a reason for linking to wikipedia sources for the Smithsonian Institution Archives, rather than SIA website itself? The wikipedia page doesn't talk about the archives specifically, while the SIA website is more related to your topic. Just a thought :)
