- Moving beyond "…of Its Time": Statements on Harmful Content and Descriptions in Library and Archival Collections Alexandra Kohn Dawn McKinnon Research Libraries Library Materials Guidelines Controversial Issues (Course Content) Library Associations Foreign Countries Language Usage Social Bias Attitudes Consciousness Raising Archives Many libraries and archives have recently released statements about harmful material in their collections and the descriptions of these collections. However, these types of statements are not required for any professional accreditation or membership, nor are there specific guidelines to follow. This study collected and analyzed statements from members of ARL (Association of Research Libraries) and CARL (Canadian Association of Research Libraries), measuring their prevalence and identifying common elements. The findings and discussion can be used as a resource by those hoping to create or amend a statement, and for the larger library community to take stock on this topic.
