Acknowledgement of Harmful Descriptions in Library Practices

As responsible stewards of library and archival materials, items in the Denver Public Library collection have been preserved in their original state and historical context. While we recognize the importance and impact these resources have in education, research, and historical record, Denver Public Library does not support nor condone the harmful social attitudes and circumstances of described works.
