Recent Photographs of Children in the Collection

  • 1.  Recent Photographs of Children in the Collection

    Posted yesterday

    Hello!

    I'm wondering if folks have policies or practices regarding access to images in their collection that depict (current) children. There is a school consolation happening in my community and someone is offering us photographs they took of the closing ceremony of one of the schools. This is likely going to be something we will collect but I'm wondering if we should be placing restrictions on access while the children depicted are still children (some as young as 6).

    We have recent yearbooks in the collection we don't restrict but perhaps we should be. 

    Thoughts?
