The Data Repository’s mission is to preserve and provide access to the permanent records of our country's history.
Our web pages contain some content that may be difficult to view. These records span the history of the United States, and it is our objective to preserve and make available these historical records. As a result, some of the materials presented here may reflect outdated, biased, offensive, and possibly violent views and opinions. In addition, some of the materials may relate to violent or graphic events and are preserved for their historical significance.
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; include graphic content of historical events such as violent death, medical procedures, crime, wars/terrorist acts, natural disasters and may seem bias and exclusionary in institutional collecting and digitization policies.
All of the descriptions used in documents and the stories therein were written many years ago, using language that was accepted at the time. As researchers and archivists we re-use language provided by creators or former owners of the material because the whole context provides important and period correct reflections of who we were then, but more importantly who we are today even though it can also reflect biases and prejudices.
We hope that everyone that uses these pages understand that it is presented for historical purposes only and does not reflect the attitude or beliefs of the members and/or staff of this project, not in part or as a whole.
