California Revealed is committed to working with California organizations to provide public access to California-related archival materials. Our contributing organizations are responsible for the selection and description of their online collections.
Historical materials are not neutral, nor is the role in making those materials accessible. Users may encounter offensive, harmful, or otherwise outdated content. California Revealed does not censor content within publicly available materials in an effort to maintain an understanding of the context of creation and avoid misrepresenting the historical record. We value access to California history for the public record.
We support the practice of reparative description and can work with our contributing organizations to update descriptive language. If you have a question regarding any content or descriptions, please email us: team@californiarevealed.org.
