Abstract Concern and even conflict over information privacy and access to personal, sensitive, information owns a lengthy, complex, and disputed history in the information professions. A historical case study, this research explores the ethical tensions between information access for (re)use and information privacy regarding queer archival materials. It engages with small worlds and normative behavior, with codes of ethics, and with issues of power and social justice. Various small worlds' definitions of normative behavior condition and potentially determine their positions on access to perceived sensitive information. Further, information professionals may overlook codes of ethics even when addressing ethical challenges. Finally, the power of information professionals to effect social justice may be overestimated. Implications for practice and directions for future research are suggested.

一个不敢说出名字的道德困境：档案隐私和访问酷儿情色

摘要 信息隐私和获取个人敏感信息的关注甚至冲突在信息行业有着漫长、复杂和有争议的历史。作为一项历史案例研究，这项研究探讨了关于酷儿档案材料的信息访问（再利用）和信息隐私之间的伦理紧张关系。它涉及小世界和规范行为、道德准则以及权力和社会正义问题。各种小世界对规范行为条件的定义，并可能决定它们在访问感知敏感信息方面的立场。此外，即使在应对道德挑战时，信息专业人员也可能会忽视道德准则。最后，信息专业人员影响社会正义的力量可能被高估了。
