I have read the comments on this site and experienced few difficulties in accession or navigation. Before the site gets dismissed out of hand and the criticism moves from content to style (and wider ) I would like to respectfully tender the following observations: o The use of italics for entries has lots of pitfalls in the compilation and reading phases. Keep it simple. Typographic standards should be specified. o Internet graphic disasters can be remedied as an ongoing process based on evaluation. Utility not fad should be the main criteria and always allow for evaluation. o The numbers on the standards list of categories should be carried over to the entries. If this is done then it is easy to see where one has been missed by the break in consecutive numbers. Otherwise there seems to be little reason for numbering them. The methodology generally seems to be sound. The standards seem to be geared towards use and as such could eventually prove useful for UK collections of African artefacts. This could lead to much broader and revised interpretation of African cultural heritage as this type of access to African collections widens. I hope the standards are taken up by African museums and the rest of the world.
