  14. Things to do better or add to site Improvements - -Make more changes based on validation, particularly accessibility -Lay out content to determine design more concretely before construction begins Additions - -Images provided by members, with links to the institution -Continual submissions from members

  15. Conclusion Problem - ARR members are spread across the country, only meet once a year, and have no online space dedicated to particular issues that arise when dealing with architectural records. There is also no defined method for transferring co-chair materials and roundtable history. Solution - This site provides a central repository for roundtable administration materials and resources to assist with the task of preserving and arranging architectural records.
