3 years ago Request for clarification (let's discuss on our phone call later today): 1) The titles on the personal collection pages are just the person's name, but you have provided what appear to be longer titles, for example Amos G. Avery page is titled Amos G. Avery, with the description listed here you gave a title of 'Amos G. Avery photographic collection AGA' Do you want me to change the title on each individuals page with the ones provided here.
2) The summary text is long. I will add it to each individuals page but I will need a shorter one to put in the Card box on the Personal Collections page. Although Wordpress does support excerpt, the component that makes up this landing page is a custom not supplied by the Wordpress codebase and does not use the Wordpress excerpt. Since the content in a Card can be from anywhere, the summary sentence or two needs to be manually added.
I updated Amos Avery so you can see what it looks like before I proceed with the others. https://lib-review-cshl-core.pantheonsite.io/archives/personal-collections/ https://lib-review-cshl-core.pantheonsite.io/personal-collections/amos-g-avery/

Does not need to be 5 lines long. An image should not be used, just a bunch of capital letters with links to anchors below.
The current page for Personal Collection: https://lib-review-cshl-core.pantheonsite.io/archives/personal-collections/ contains the individual's photo and name. Please include the brief description given below, within the photo/name box. Since this will make the page on the long side, we might want to consider an alphabet link or a name link to an anchor for quick access.
The URL for the Finding Aids (etc) will go on the individual collection pages and not the top level personal collection page. These are additional URL, most of the individual person collections already have URLs.
