Ever wonder how maps are made accessible to the blind? A Library A250 project set out to do just that with some of our Revolution-era holdings, including this map made by George Washington! More accessible A250 materials: www.loc.gov/nls/services-and-resour…

A while ago, I posted about “views”, a new definition we've been working on. Good news, we resolved on using a specific definition (draft). Updated my post to explain: hidde.blog/views/#headi... thanks to all who chimed in, and specifically the efforts of co-chair @alastairc.uk to make this happen

I'm got a question about which type of CAPTCHA is best for accessibility. I found my self saying: It's like asking whether sea water is more dry than tap water, they are both intrinsically wet!

Am I the only person who struggles to wade through content marked #accessibility but just calling out the need for alt text? Any chance we could use a new hashtag like #addAltText?

A small but impactful action: If you have #accessibility or #disability resources maintained by the U.S. Government: 1. Check to make sure it is archived in the Internet Archive AND 2. Add it to the Archive if it is not. This blog has instructions for both.
