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 Some of these terms are outdated, offensive, or insensitive.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.
I assume the Bible must contain trigger warnings.....or did they just ban it?
1) not Babylon Bee
2) I looked at the link and this preposterous stuff is there
3) Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.
Act 3, Scene 1, line 273 of William Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar.
That’s asinine. I can’t think of anything in the constitution that any of those statements apply to... But I suppose that it’s meant to deter people from reading it in the first place.
I can clearly see that the National Archives is not a suitable repository for the US Constitution.
It’s about past time to play cowboy and communists isn’t it ?
I’ll say.
If not for the Constitution, the National Archives would not exist.
Now I have heard everything.
Effing unbelievable.

I can remember visiting there the day after Reagan died. The giftstore was full of anti-Bush books. I remember telling the manager and she just shrugged. Funny thing was that someone in the WSJ noticed it too.
It’ll probably get much worse in the coming years.
It’s time to stand up to this triggering BS. They are claiming they have PTSD and are experiencing the same symptoms as, for instance, an Iraq vet who had both legs blown off by an IED. This is garbage. They feign PTSD to play the victim, get sympathy, and shut down anyone who calls them on it. If you fake an injury to get money, that is fraud. We need a legal eagle who can work out how this can be applied to supposedly triggered SJWs.

F’n wokists.
Just tell them they need to order Depends from Amazon before they enter the site. Its history for God's sake and the language is accepted for all time.
OK, now that i’m done puking, we should make them put “TRIGGER WARNING” every time they mention abortion, as it triggers images/thoughts of the horror of dismembering the innocent-unborn in the womb...
Some of these descriptions were written many years ago, using language that was accepted at the time when America was free of Communist bullsh!ters”
Any such warnings for the quaran?
