Navigating Privacy in Archives: Best Practices for Protecting Personal Data

This panel discussion will explore the complex issues surrounding the protection of sensitive personal information in historical documents. We will examine best practices for archivists to balance public access with the privacy rights of individuals featured in archival materials. Topics will include legal considerations, ethical dilemmas, and technological solutions for managing and redacting private data within archival collections.
