This article is well-structured, well-written, and concise. I especially appreciate the “Important Terms to Know” section, and positioning it early in the article maximized its usefulness. It’s pretty well researched, too: there’s authority in the sentences, so I can clearly see that you know what you’re talking about. A few more citations would have been good to see, just to know that it’s all backed up in literature.

I do have two suggestions for improving the content: while the tone is appropriately unbiased and authoritative, it does assume some knowledge about photographs. Some definitions and processes could stand to be fleshed out. For example, I don’t know what an emulsion layer is, even after reading the article. Some more interlinks on various terms would allow readers to learn more about terms they were unfamiliar with without clogging up the article and pulling it away from its original focus. Second, this article clearly defines a collections role, but doesn’t place it within the museum structure. I’m curious to know who a photographic preservation specialist would report to, and if they ever serve on museum staff or freelance instead.

I think it’s an excellent start – it makes me very curious to learn more!
