George I. Sánchez Papers
This collection contains photographs of deceased individuals. Both the content statement and the placeholder image are meant to respect the individuals depicted as well as respecting cultural protocols that limit viewing of human remains. (Protocols for Native American Archival Materials, p. 12) Materials are metadata only as the collections curator determined the level of graphic content and the lack of consent on the part of those depicted required the images to not be displayed. However, they are still open to research requests by way of the metadata-only record.
Image strategy used:
Removal of the image. placeholder image and metadata of the record is left in place.
Other actions taken:
Description/note field clearly states if human remains are shown in the image.
