Additional Description

Processing Information

It is the center's standard descriptive practice to include historical terminology along with any equivalent contemporary terms in archival description of collections in order to support researcher discovery. However, for a variety of reasons, users may encounter offensive or harmful language, for example, language that is racist, sexist, or homophobic, in our finding aids. Staff are currently implementing practices to address offensive or harmful language as part of routine description work. In addition, we encourage users to provide feedback to help us tackle this issue. We recognize that terminology evolves over time and that efforts to create respectful and inclusive description must be ongoing.
