A message I read on the listserv stated, "retain the originals until such time as they can be safely provided
to researchers."  What is the proper amount of time before orginal documents with SS#s on them can be released for research purposes without fear of damaging the integrity of the collection and the donor's reputation?
 
Thanks,
