Re: Redacting Names From Documents



I would suggest not mutilating the original document but sealing it
separately from the rest of the collection--with of course documentation.

Thanks to all who responded to my situation.  Most replies mentioned
photocopying the letters, blacking out the names, and using these for
access.  I should have mentioned that there are several hundred, if not
over a thousand, of these letters!  So, looks like I got plenty of
copying to do.....

I am arranging the collection of a Congresswoman and need to redact
names from certain letters and documents (as per her directive).
Several years earlier someone began the process but I notice that the
redactions (by magic marker) have faded a bit and the names are still
visible.  Is there a better way to do this, short of cutting out the
names?  Thanks.
