Hi Kaitlin,

Your page looks great. I really like the video you embedded (I love that the archives made this). You might be already planning to, but I think adding some photographs to the page would add some more visual interest. Images of a few of the archives' historical photographs, etc. A photograph of the archives or archives' building at the top of the page would work well (if available). Going off of Eric's comment, you could add the archives' location and hours into the caption of the photograph, I have seen this before on wikis and it works well in immediately providing that information without the need of a section. However, if you did this then the "Additional Services" section would be left, so you might want to keep it the way it is. I think a little section on the staffing of the archives would be interesting - how many permanent staff members, do they have volunteers, etc.? Not sure if this information is available. I noticed you hyperlinked "Nova Scotia" in your second section. Perhaps instead you should link both Nova Scotia and Halifax in the intro so that the first time the places are mentioned, they can be clicked on for those readers who are not familiar with them.

Best, Hannah

Hey Hannah, Thanks for the great suggestions. I linked Halifax and Nova Scotia in the overview just now - thanks for spotting this. I am am hoping to embed some photos shortly as well. In terms of staffing, unfortunately I can't seem to find any info on this. I may shoot the archives an email this week to see if they can fill in the blanks on this.
