Prioritizing Screen Reader Access

As archives increasingly move into the digital realm, ensuring online accessibility has become a fundamental responsibility.

These tools translate onscreen text and interface elements into synthesized speech or Braille, allowing users to navigate websites, databases, and catalogs without relying on visual cues. However, for screen readers to function effectively, digital environments must be designed with intentionality and care. In archival settings, this may be overlooked.
