Erotic Digital Archives: Issues Involved in Bringing the Kinsey Library Collections into the Digital Realm Is it possible for the Kinsey Institute for Sex, Gender and Reproduction to provide digital access to the Kinsey's varied collections while contending with issues of privacy, con鍖dentiality, and donor restrictions that are even more strict than those faced by most archival collections? About the Kinsey Institute ≒ Founded in 1947 at Indiana University by Dr. Alfred Kinsey, biologist and sex researcher. ≒ A private non-pro鍖t institution af鍖liated with (but not managed by) Indiana University. ≒ Mission is to advance sexual health and knowledge worldwide. About the Collections ≒ Total collection (archives, art, 鍖lm) is approximately 430,000 items. ≒ Does not circulate; non-IU researchers charged an access fee. ≒ Digitization is user, donor, funder, and project driven. As of early 2013, an estimated 5% of materials have been digitized. ≒ KI uses PhotoCAT, an image management system developed by IU. Privacy & Con鍖dentiality ≒ Donor/source information on ALL materials is considered con鍖dential. Legality ≒ Must have copyright permissions. ≒ Legality of sexual materials changes over time. Brianna Marshall | MLS/MIS Candidate | Indiana University School of Library & Info. Science Materials Use Policy ≒ Materials are available to quali鍖ed researchers and scholarsincluding students, staff, or faculty. ≒ Photocopy & Scanning Policy states that KI reserves the right not to photocopy: ≒ Unique and/or rare materials ≒ Unpublished works without author permission ≒ Con鍖dential works ≒ Any materials, the duplication of which would not be in the best interest of the Institute. ≒ Requirement is that scans/digital copies must be deleted or otherwise destroyed after use. IMPERATIVES ≒ $$$ ≒ Secure platform that supports authentication for multiple user roles. ≒ Modi鍖ed user policies. ≒ Modi鍖ed donor negotiations. h#p://blogs.atu.edu/library/2013/02/14/valen<nes-足day-足website/ Partnerships ≒ Alexander Street Press ≒ LBGT Thought & Culture Donor Restrictions ≒ Material restrictions are negotiated between the donor and Kinsey staff. ≒ Most common request is a time restriction.
