I am sending this (non LF) photograph out to the special collections archives of a large state library.

They did not buy it, I am donating the print to them as well as a number of other prints. I always print on the back of my photographs the information that pertains to it. Name of photograph, date taken, copyright info etc.
But, this is what I feel like adding on as a side note...
Note: In 2013 shooting children 'street style' has become a major problem for many a male photographer. Two weeks prior to shooting 'The Lost Princess' I was at a Catholic block party fund raiser. I was shooting for 15 minutes in the afternoon, testing a Widelux camera. I was approached and questioned as to what I was doing taking photos of people at the fair. I returned later that night to photograph again. Within 5 minutes of shooting I was approached and told if I don't leave they would call the police. Seems that every male that points a camera at a kid nowadays is a pedophile.
I was wondering if it would be of any archival use to document the societal problems some photographers may experience?
Or is it unprofessional and should I just list the basic photo details?
Thanks
