Sensitive Materials Statement

Manuscript collections and archival records may contain materials with sensitive or confidential information that is protected under federal or state right to privacy laws and regulations, the North Carolina Public Records Act (N.C.G.S. § 132 1 et seq.), and Article 7 of the North Carolina State Personnel Act (Privacy of State Employee Personnel Records, N.C.G.S. § 126-22 et seq.). Researchers are advised that the disclosure of certain information pertaining to identifiable living individuals represented in this collection without the consent of those individuals may have legal ramifications (e.g., a cause of action under common law for invasion of privacy may arise if facts concerning an individual's private life are published that would be deemed highly offensive to a reasonable person) for which the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill assumes no responsibility.

Encoded by: Jodi Berkowitz, August 2021

Since August 2017, we have added ethnic and racial identities for individuals and families represented in collections. To determine identity, we rely on self-identification; other information supplied to the repository by collection creators or sources; public records, press accounts, and secondary sources; and contextual information in the collection materials. Omissions of ethnic and racial identities in finding aids created or updated after August 2017 are an indication of insufficient information to make an educated guess or an individual's preference for identity information to be excluded from description. When we have misidentified, please let us know at wilsonlibrary@unc.edu.

Ladyslipper, Inc. is a North Carolina non-profit organization for women’s music which was founded by Laurie Fuchs, a white woman, in 1976. Ladyslipper’s mission has been to heighten public awareness of the achievements of women artists and musicians and to expand the scope and availability of the musical and literary recordings by women.

Audio recordings produced, distributed, or collected by Ladyslipper Inc. Recordings are largely independently produced and in some cases self-released. There is also a small amount of flyers, press kits, promotional materials, and other items dating from the 1980s and 1990s.
