Accessibility

ACCESSIBILITY

One of our key priorities is to ensure that customers have access to our collections, via personal visits to our buildings, or through virtual access through our website. We strive to make our collections open and accessible.

Layout

To ensure our content and pages are well structured and easy to use, we provide navigation buttons and tool bars to guide users to the relevant sections that they require.

Content

All content has been written and laid out on the page to be as accessible as possible. This includes writing easy-to-read copy and keeping paragraphs short. All images are given a title which indicates the subject matter of the image to aid alternative text recognition.

Font

We use a fairly large font size (what is it? Please add size here). Text size can be increased in your browser by selecting the F11 keyboard key. Images can also be enlarged by clicking on them after selecting them from the search.
