One of the unfortunate side effects of private archives, private libraries, and private museums is the "tightrope" that the staff must constantly walk in order not to 'offend' the benefactors. It is perhaps not ethical yet you either have a job or you don't. This "skirting the issue" or "putting a slant on things" is quite common in books. A locally "authorized" biography of our long-time local Congressional representative quite carefully ignores the scandals and ethics investigations that cost him his Congressional seat, but then the book and writing was funded by the Congressman.
