Digital collections in the Syracuse University Digital Library contain some content that may be harmful or difficult to view. These materials are evidence of the time in which the originals were created and may contain language and images that are racist, homophobic, sexist, ableist, violent, or otherwise derogatory and insensitive. 

The Syracuse University Digital Library presents these materials as part of the historic record. Libraries staff seek to balance the preservation of this history with sensitivity to how these materials are presented to and perceived by users.

Please keep in mind that because Libraries staff have not been able to review all the materials available online here, not every item with potentially harmful content will have a warning.

If you have questions about any of the content found here, please contact the Digital Library program staff at diglibrary@syr.edu.
