References and Tense

Hi Kelsey,

Suggestions I have so far include adding references to a few of your sentences. For example, the first sentence under "Establishing a New Identity" concerning decolonization movements after WWII needs a reference note; the last paragraph of "Representations of Indigenous Groups" feels like it needs more references/footnotes; and under "Challenges" (Decolonization/Archive-Building) the "highly one-sided view of the nations" needs a reference for support.

Also, perhaps there are places where you can use the Present Tense to indicate that Archivists are still grappling with certain issues, and that these issues are not confined to the past. Lastly, this sentence "Putting the power in the hands of the previously marginalized is the obvious answer" could we worded differently to keep objective/neutral wiki standpoint.

Thanks for pointing that out, I sometimes get stuck writing in the past tense (too much writing about history I guess!)
