* There's a maintenance burden on these pages for Curators.
* Different curators may display fields in different ways, leading to a less
uniform experience than PUDL.
* Most metadata can be managed centrally in the IMLS/Figgy/EADs.

Typo: IMLS should be ILS. And as long as you're touching this again, can you renumber to make this 0002, since it was decided before RabbitMQ or indexing via manifest?

Done, thank you.


Further, curators often had disagreements about metadata display with the
cataloguing department. It was important that certain fields display a certain
way, but be catalogued according to best practices.

I think one other thing to include here is that it's sometimes important to display the metadata differently because it's in the context of an exhibit — e.g., you might have a few items with the same title where it makes sense to have the title be the same in the catalog/EAD, but you want to differentiate them in the exhibit.

That seems like a better way to characterize this. I modified the paragraph.
