B.     Redaction: Redaction is the process of analyzing our archival content; identifying confidential, sensitive, or private information; and removing or replacing it. By redacting material in this way, we can make the non- redacted parts of an item openly accessible for our users. Frequently used redaction techniques include anonymization and pseudo- anonymization to remove personally identifiable information, as well as cleaning of authorship information. This is usually carried out by removing or replacing the sensitive/private/confidential information while retaining the existing structure of the item in the version being provided to a user. Any redaction should always be made on a secondary copy of a file – never on the original, archival master file.
