Frequently Asked Questions
What harmful or difficult content may be found in the National Archives Catalog and our web pages?
Some items may:
reflect racist, sexist, ableist, misogynistic/misogynoir, and xenophobic opinions and attitudes; be discriminatory towards or exclude diverse views on sexuality, gender, religion, and more; include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and more; demonstrate bias and exclusion in institutional collecting and digitization policies.
Why does the National Archives make potentially harmful content available?
NARA’s mission is to preserve and provide access to the permanent records of the federal government. NARA, working in conjunction with diverse communities, will seek to balance the preservation of this history with sensitivity to how these materials are presented to and perceived by users.
How is this material described, and why are some of the terms used in the descriptions harmful?
Archivists choose what language to use when describing materials. Some of these descriptions were written many years ago, using language that was accepted at the time. Archivists often re-use language provided by creators or former owners of the material. This can provide important context, but it can also reflect biases and prejudices. Archivists often use a standardized set of terms, such as the Library of Congress Subject Headings, to describe materials. Some of these terms are outdated, offensive, or insensitive. In the past, the National Archives has not had standards or policies to help archivists avoid harmful language.
How are archivists working to address this problem and help users better understand such content?
Examples include:
informing users about the presence and origin of harmful content; revising descriptions and standardized sets of descriptive terms, supplementing description with more respectful terms, or creating new standardized terms to describe materials; researching the problem, listening to users, experimenting with solutions, and sharing our findings with each other; evaluating existing processes for exclusionary practices or institutional bias that prioritize one culture and/or group over another; making an institutional commitment to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility.

When I searched the site EVERYTHING and every page had this warning across the top. I think it is a defective design rather than an intentional smear.
Plenty of freepers get triggered whenever I state that natural born citizens are naturally citizens because they were born here of citizen parents and could not be anything else and that those born with multiple nationalities are not naturally Americans because they are something else.
It’s simple logic.
