A few thoughts

Thank you so much, Chelsea B!

I will get on those grammatical errors, and thanks for catching them.

Yes, an introduction about performing arts archives is definitely on my to-do list, and I think it will give the wiki a much less jarring start.

You know, I was initially excited about the Youtube video, but I haven't been able to figure out a way to format it nicely, add a credit line, etc. the way you are able to do for photos, so I am not sure I should keep it. It seems a shame since A/V is so integral to performing arts archives. But then again, I don't want an ugly wiki!

I like the idea of adding information about the type performing arts materials are housed at the different repositories, but it's a bit all over the map to be honest. Some of the archives hold a fonds from one small local barbershop quartet (not really, but you get the idea) and other hold what seems like a million fonds from every dance, music, or theatre organization in the province. I am not sure I could add information about holdings in a way that was both accurate and consistent, but I'll give it some thought. If you have any suggestions, send them along. Maybe I could just list a few "highlights?"

Thanks again!

Hi Chelsea,

To be honest, I did think my suggestion of discussing the holdings at particular archives might be an impossible task. But, if possible, I do think it would provide really valuable information to your wiki. I like your idea of having a few "highlights" - that way you do get to mention some collections without becoming buried in them :)

Hi Chelsea, I vote you keep the video! Especially since, as you mentioned, moving image records are such an important part of this field. Perhaps you could make the video smaller?

I am hoping to put a video in my page as well and will be working on it this weekend. If I come across any useful tidbits related formatting, putting credits in, etc., I'll let you know.

Hi, Katie.

Yes, I was able to make the video smaller, though it involved math *shudder* to keep the proportions correct. I was hoping that by leaving out the height and just adjusting the width in the code, it would keep the proportions...but not so. If you end up adding video, just a little piece of info to keep in mind!
