Folklore Archives Disclaimer

CONTENT DISCLAIMER

The primary source material housed in a folklore archive are the traditional expressions (jokes, legends, customs, recipes, etc.) of an ongoing culture. While the content of the items may or may not be objectively factual, the presence of the folk expression in a community reflects the shared attitudes and values, both esoteric and exoteric, of the community they are collected from and thus constitute an important social record.

Some of the items in the collections may be sensitive and may or may not be the opinions, ideas, or beliefs of the people who collected the materials or their informants. The Jack Horntip Collection does not endorse the information in the collection, likewise, the materials contained in the collections do not represent the opinions of Jack Horntip or anyone associated with the Jack Horntip Collection. While the collection contains materials that may be considered prejudiced, stereotyped, or offensive, it should be remembered that the folk data is an important resource in the study of contemporary and past cultures.

We take our responsibilities as a repository of such material seriously. All individuals who wish to use these materials are required to complete and deposit the Jack Horntip Collection Use Agreement for Archival Materials form and to observe all applicable copyright laws.
