-webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px;">Humanities scholars have
historically used archives that include restricted or
privacy-sensitive collections in order to conduct their
investigations about sensitive topics. The recent developments in
digitization and dissemination technologies present the
possibility of making archival collections broadly available.
Furthermore, collections of new, born-digital documents will be
readily available to support and enhance scholarship. However,
such access has also exacerbated threats to the privacy of
individuals named in these records. Examples of such
privacy-sensitive records include mental health institutional
records, prison records, records of the Truth and reconciliation
commissions, Nazi archives, and the Guatemalan national police
archives. Access to paper records is protected by distance,
physical barriers, and varying state and national policies and
laws. In some cases, the legal frameworks for digital records are
substantially less clear than those for physical records.
Furthermore, the online availability of such records has a
potential to stigmatize or embarrass the families or descendants
of those named in the records when they bear no responsibility for
the acts or health conditions of the named individuals, raising
ethical issues in providing broad, open access to these records.
In addition to scholars, demographics such as family members,
journalists, social services providers, and policy makers can all
benefit from access to these historical collections.</p>
