All: A search of the Listserv archives and the web did not turn up a sufficient answer, so I am hoping that someone out there has bumped up against this issue. We have a collection of an architect who, in the 1970s during Virginia's Massive Resistance campaign, ran a private school in Richmond. This small series contains some grade books, photographs of students, etc. Does anyone know what, if any, restrictions might apply to these records. Since this was a private institution, does something like FERPA apply? Most of the information I have found deals with university records. Those guidelines say that materials such as photographs can be released without written permission. However, pictures of minors cannot be release without parental consent. Is that a moot point because the minors depicted in this collection are no longer minors? I would appreciate any suggestions/directions from the list. Vince Vincent T.
