Does any archives people have good examples of how to deal with offensive/outdated language in archive material when cataloguing? Anyone have any examples/guidelines/polices/articles they can send my way?

Does anyone know of any large collections of correspondence between women covering the 1910s-1960s? I have surveyed a huge collection covering 30+ years of friendship and I’m wondering how unique it is?
