Incoming Correspondence, 2020

Researchers are permanently restricted from releasing--in any form--any personally identifiable information without the written permission of the subject who is/was incarcerated (or their parent or guardian, if a minor). The researcher must also communicate in writing with the West Virginia and Regional History Center that all incarcerated or formerly incarcerated persons' personally identifiable data, or copies thereof, have been completely destroyed once the study/use of material is concluded. This personally identifiable data includes name, address, and ID number.

Digitization of letters in the collection is prohibited. However, researchers may take pictures or scan letters as long as all personal identifiable information is removed/redacted.
