Accessibility
The subject area on Accessibility may contain documents relative to the availability of archival materials or to adaptive environments which help ensure that institutions provide equal opportunity to people with disabilities to participate in programs, services and activities.
Documents on accessibility in this subject category could pertain to the availability of archival materials for consultation. Accessibility can be determined by such factors as legal authorization, proximity of materials to researchers, usable formats, and the existence of finding aids.

Documents on accessibility could also pertain to disability rights laws, architectural barriers and/or improving physical accessibility, electronic accessibility and operability, and information technology accessibility standards and policies in the archives and records management fields.
