I have a question about how to handle a manuscript collection that has the 
social security number of an author on a number of documents.  It is not a 
restricted collection, but we are interested in covering or marking out the 
social security number to protect the author for security reasons.  We 
don’t, however, want to create preservation problems with the documents 
through the use of ink or correction fluid or tape that will damage the 
paper.  What do you think is the least problematic method, from a 
preservation prespective, to deal with this?  Has anyone had to deal with a 
similar situation?  Thanks for your help!
