  • 1.  Suggestions for creating Accessibility guidelines for staff and volunteers

    Posted 01-30-2023 01:06 PM
    Hello colleagues,
    Does anyone have any recommendations for small museums with limited budgets to increase accessibility programs for their disabled visitors/patrons?

    Thank you

    Hi Andrea,
    We actually just published an article on Artwork Archive's blog about this exact topic -- affordable and easy-to-execute strategies to make small museums more accessible to disabled visitors. The author is accessibility expert Heather Pressman. My son is hard of hearing so this topic hits close to home for me. 


    All the best,

    There are a ton of ways!  I recommend you check out The Art of Access: A Practical Guide for Museum Accessibility (use the code RLFANDF30 for 30% off!).  Full disclosure, I co-wrote the book, so I'm partial, but the whole reason we wrote the book for was folks like you!
