Thanks for the pointer to the ETD group. That will be useful for more than just this question.
So far all the replies have been about ETDs. I'm dealing mostly with tech reposts. I'd like to hear how people are dealing with those. Often there will be signatures of those submitting the report, those approving the report, maybe a tech monitor or a compliance monitor, or the PI. How far back should be a concern? If I'm scanning something from the 1960s, the 1990s or current, should they be treated differently? The trend in ETDs seems to redact signatures or even omit the signature page for current items. But not for older items. Many places also either redact or omit the Vita or CV.
