Topic: Ethical Digitization
Join us for three presentations on the topic of ethical digitization. Please see space on the form below, if you'd like to submit questions ahead of time.

Presentations:
- I'm an Archivist, Not a Therapist: Providing Research Participants Access to Sensitive Records.
Lizette Barton, Records and Reference Services Manager, Cummings Center for the History of Psychology, University of Akron.
Psychologist Dr. Sylvia Brody (1914-2021) conducted one of the most well-known, longitudinal studies on mother-child interaction and attachment in psychology's history. Her eighteen-year project followed mothers and children from birth through adolescence. A request for records from a participant trying to make sense of their childhood and relationship with their now deceased mother made us face the reality that restrictions, privacy, and access policies likely need to be fluid and flexible in order to best serve certain patrons.
- Ethical Issues in LGBTIA+ Archives: The Dinah Files
Clarity Amrein and Nancy Yerian, Ohio Lesbian Archives and Cincinnati Public Library.
This presentation will walk viewers through the digitization of a lesbian community newsletter, Dinah, and the ethical challenges that arose in the process. Conversations between the Ohio Lesbian Archives, the Cincinnati and Hamilton County Public Library, and individual creators discuss approaches and solutions.
- Looking Through a One-Way Window: The Use of Medical Photographs in Exhibits
Jennifer K. Nieves, Archivist/Museum Registrar, Dittrick Medical History Center.
The Dittrick Medical History Center at Case Western Reserve University has a sizeable collection of images captured while the Lakeside Unit of Cleveland, a WWI medical unit directed by Cleveland Clinic founder George W. Crile, was treating wounded soldiers. While we are a medical museum and one might expect images such as these to be put on public view, is this a proper use of the materials? Did the subjects of these photographs consent to their use in a medical setting, much less by a lay audience?
