Accessibility Statement

My Local History is committed to providing digital experiences that are accessible to as many people as reasonably possible, including individuals with disabilities.

We make ongoing efforts to improve the usability and accessibility of My Local History websites and History Hubs and to follow generally recognized accessibility practices and standards where practical. These efforts may include considerations such as readable text, color contrast, keyboard navigation, alternative text for images, closed captions for videos, and compatibility with common assistive technologies.

Accessibility is an ongoing process, and digital content, technologies, browsers, assistive tools, and accessibility standards continue to evolve. As a result, My Local History does not represent or guarantee that every page, feature, document, video, image, or third-party component will meet every accessibility standard or requirement at all times.

Content Provided by Participating Organizations

History Hubs may contain text, images, documents, videos, links, and other materials submitted, uploaded, edited, or maintained by participating organizations or other third parties.

My Local History provides the platform used to display this content but may not create, control, or independently review all submitted materials for accessibility.

Participating organizations are responsible for the content they provide and are encouraged to supply accessible materials whenever reasonably possible. This may include providing appropriate alternative text for images, closed captions for video content, descriptive link text, and accessible versions of documents.

Videos and Multimedia

My Local History makes reasonable efforts to support accessible multimedia experiences. Videos produced or hosted by My Local History may include closed captions where available.

The availability and accuracy of captions may depend on the source material, technology used to generate or provide captions, third-party services, or content supplied by participating organizations.

My Local History does not currently provide descriptive audio or audio description services.

Third-Party Services and Content

Some features of a History Hub may rely on third-party platforms, embedded media, maps, documents, fonts, videos, links, applications, or other services.

My Local History does not control the accessibility of third-party websites, applications, platforms, or services and cannot guarantee that third-party content will be compatible with all assistive technologies or meet every applicable accessibility standard.

Links to third-party websites are provided for convenience. Accessibility concerns relating to a third-party website or service may need to be addressed directly with the provider of that service.

Accessibility Standards

My Local History may use generally recognized accessibility standards and best practices as guidance when designing, developing, and maintaining its websites and services.

My Local History is not an accessibility auditor, certification provider, or legal compliance service. References to accessibility practices or standards should not be interpreted as a representation, warranty, or certification of compliance with any particular law, regulation, standard, or guideline.
