We aim to provide access to collection materials in a manner that is respectful to the individuals and communities who create, use, steward, and are represented in our holdings, but we realize that descriptive work is not and never has been neutral: it is done by people with their own backgrounds, experiences, and biases. We are committed to reviewing and correcting harmful language in our descriptions, and providing contextualization for language within the documents themselves. Please see our Statement on Harmful Language and Content for more information about our policy and process for providing feedback. When providing feedback on Texas ScholarWorks (TSW) materials, please include a URL to the relevant item whenever possible.
Please see UT Libraries' Statement on Harmful Language and Content for more information.

The administrators for Texas ScholarWorks may upload UT Austin authored content that is free of any copyright restrictions that would limit distribution. These are usually open access publications that are published with a CC-BY (Creative Commons Attribution) license or , are from publishers that allow PDF versions of their articles to be posted in institutional repositories, or are items that are in the public domain. Since TSW was established to provide open, online access to the scholarship of the university, we add those works to Texas ScholarWorks. If you have questions or concerns about your work, please contact the Repository Curator at tsw@utlists.utexas.edu.
