      <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:ahcaccess@uwyo.edu">email</extref> or <extref href=" https://uwyo.sjc1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_08pzxtR5dTgN0sC">anonymous web-form</extref>.
