Abstract
This presentation highlights complex ethical issues faced by library and museum archives in managing sensitive digital content, particularly when access conflicts with privacy and/or cultural concerns. In these slides, we share examples of how digital librarians and archivists who are managing specialized content such as medical, tribal, and those belonging to historically marginalized populations are addressing often overlooked areas of questions around ethical access in digital collections. The goal of the research is to provide practitioners with actionable guidelines for ethical decision-making, ensuring that ethical challenges are addressed and navigated with care and sensitivity.
