Talk:Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts

2014 class review

Good work and content. I would look into adding some categories at the bottom. You could potentially link the NCAAA to this page as well. Jessicashamma (talk) 16:05, 24 October 2014 (UTC)

Great research! It seems like you really used the archival collections, and also found some additional online sources, which is good to see. You've also used some nice organization. I went ahead and added some links to this article, from other articles, and as noted above it's always good to add some categories. The only real issue left is the reference formatting. (Don't worry, you're not alone in that!) When working with archival sources, it's always a little harder. Here is a great guide online; note that you want to cite author and title as if it were a normal source, and only afterwards cite the box and other info. You also wouldn't want to base the entire article on archival and primary sources (which you haven't, so good job there.) Finally, in a few of your references, I think you could add some more detail. For example, in the Boston Globe obituary, is there a full date? Here's some documentation on citing newspaper sources that might help. And with the NCAAA history, can you give a fuller description of the website, or the organizations full name? Overall, I think you've got good content to work with, I'd just improve the reference formatting. I'll try to tweak your references a little to give you some models to use for the other ones, and let me know if you have any questions. AmandaRR123 (talk) 19:55, 29 October 2014 (UTC)

Just wanted to pop back in and say that you've really done a nice look through the archival collections here. I cleaned up the citation to the school history, so that it looks like this: Lewis, Elma. (1992). The Elma Lewis School: A History. Elma Lewis School of Fine Arts Records. Northeastern University Archives and Special Collections, (Box 1, Folder 30), Northeastern University Libraries, Boston, MA. Note that I start with the author and date (which I got from the finding aid), then give the title (The Elma Lewis School...), and then note that it's from a particular special collection. This is your reference number 4. For these citations, the author isn't the archive itself, it's whoever wrote the original document. AmandaRR123 (talk) 20:07, 29 October 2014 (UTC)
