Atlanta University Center Robert W. Woodruff Library Statement on Potentially Harmful Language and Content in our Digital Collections and Resources: The AUC Woodruff Library’s digital archival and scholarly collections may include materials that some members of our community find offensive, harmful, or difficult to view. Historical records often reflect the perspectives and biases of their time, including harmful, stereotypical, and offensive portrayals of people of color, LGBTQ+ individuals, people with disabilities, and other equity-seeking communities. As part of our mission to preserve and provide access to the American historical record, we present these materials in their original form to ensure equitable and objective access. In alignment with the American Library Association’s Freedom to Read statement, we do not censor content or restrict patron access. The availability of these historical materials does not constitute an endorsement of the attitudes, prejudices, or behaviors they may depict. The AUC Woodruff Library remains committed to the principle of free and equal access to unaltered historical information. If you have any questions or feedback regarding this statement or our work, please contact us at inquiries@auctr.edu.
