      <head>Statement on Potentially Harmful Language and Images Found in Collections</head>  
      
      <p>The American Heritage Center aspires to approach all areas of our work in ways that are 
        
        respectful to those who create, use, and are represented in our collections. For a variety of 
        
        reasons, however, users may encounter offensive or harmful language or images in some of our 
        
        finding aids, catalogs, and collection materials.</p> 
      
      
      
      <p>Note that the AHC does not censor or alter contents of the collections as they provide context and evidence of a time, people, place, or event.  
        
        Therefore, we encourage users to bring questions and concerns about descriptions in our finding aids to our attention via <extref href="mailto:sara.davis@uwyo.edu,bblasi@uwyo.edu">email</extref> or <extref href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd7UKY6227Uluu6mYZv-63VA_hQSNd7kgRhsaLC-UD2NOB9cg/viewform">anonymous web-form</extref>.
