Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) collects, preserves, and provides access to primary resources for teaching, learning, and research. Some resources may contain offensive stereotypes, ideas, visuals, or language. Such materials serve as evidence of the era in which they were created, and are part of the historical record. These artifacts do not represent the views of SCUA nor of the university, which strongly condemn racism and oppression, and strives to overcome historical and divisive biases in our society. Researchers are therefore advised to proceed with caution when collections have been identified as containing offensive content. We recognize that researchers may be concerned about interacting with this content. To this end, we endeavor to add Content Warnings to finding aids when collections have been identified as containing these materials. If you find any collection material you think deserves a warning, please email archives@iastate.edu.
