Hi Adena, I think your page is looking great so far. You've put so much work into discussing the position of personal archives in archival theory and it's really well done. I have some questions about the structure of the page currently though. Are you going to expand on the "Types of Materials" section more? If you're not planning to do more than a paragraph or two, it might work better to bring that up when you're discussing the definition of a personal archive as it seems to me that while the types of materials you've mentioned (so far) aren't particularly unique, the way they're handled in personal archives sets them apart. Is Mukurtu included as an example of diversity because it is a community archive? I think it would be nice to see more of why you've chosen your specific diversity examples in this section. Good luck in developing your page further! It's a super interesting topic. Best, Allison

Hi Allison,

Thanks for the points on structure. I took out the types of materials section because as you pointed out, it wasn't particularly unique to personal archives.

I'm definitely planning to expand the diversity & representation section, hopefully using Mukurtu as an example of personal records being presented under a different set of cultural protocols.

Thanks for your feedback!
