PDA Event: Accessibility and Disability in Special Collections

In this webinar, attendees will get an overview of physical and digital accessibility best practices in special collections for users and employees. While similar to accessibility in libraries, this topic is different in terms of types and quantity of material, discovery tools, and resource description. Archives have also historically focused on increasing discoverability and maybe accessibility while neglecting the emotional experience—what is it like to find yourself described in outdated and offensive language and work with this material for a long period of time?

Zachary Tumlin is the Project Archivist for the Economists’ Papers Archive at Duke University.

This webinar is part of the NC LIVE DEIA Learning Series happening throughout the month of November.
