It is unethical and unreasonable to expect the archival community to guess which fieldnotes contain sensitive information and what are reasonable use restrictions.Nutt and Worrell 2015, 326The first part of the plan described the department’s need for a single comprehensive manuscripts administration database containing information about each collection’s location, processing status, donor information, use restrictions, and a brief description of the collection.Holden and Roeschley 2020, 88Archivists should do everything in their power to respect the lived experiences of survivors of violence.
