Hi Kelsey,

want to echo what everyone else had said so far, nice looking page and good use of images (great and very helpful map at beginning). I also think adding a modern slant to the topic makes it feel very "fresh" and immediately relevant (not saying it isn't already), and makes me appreciate more the history behind this area. I think it's an interesting decision to start off early with a challenges discussion in the two respective sections on colonial and postcolonial archives. My initial instinct would be to have this at a later point, but it actually works really well in the context of your wiki; helps set the tone for the content that follows. Also, your overview is one of the better ones I have read in terms of being succinct and capturing the spirit of your topic.

Do you think the Technology and Digitization section could be broken up a bit to make it easier to read/more organized? Not saying it's necessary, but something that just struck me at first blush when I was reading it.

And please feel free to connect your wiki to my wiki (Archival Advocacy) as I think there's some connection here.

Best,

V

Thanks for the feedback! I was thinking about breaking up the Technology section a bit...but I feel like too much of it can fall under "challenges." Maybe specifically it is like, preservation/infrastructure, cultural, and then legal? I have to think about it, I was also going to try to add a bit more to that part too.
