The power of collaborative editing

At MSU we recently imported most of the The Making of Modern Michigan digital collection into a wiki. We’re getting some great additions to the wiki, corrections to the main authoritative page and some wonderful personal comments in the discussion pages. I’ve included some sample links below:

First, two different comments from different people. One who used to work at the old dealership, and one who works in the current building. Click on the article link to view the actual dealership.

Second, memories of an old drug store.

Last, somebody found their dad in an old photo.

    Some people might acidently find these pages through other means. For those people, the comment means nothing to them because they can’t see the image. I think it would be helpful if there’s at least a link back to the image. My 2 cents.
