Accessibility
How this site is built, and the standard it is held to.
Preserving Florida wants this archive to be usable by everyone. The site is built to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2 at Level AA, in English and in Spanish, and it is tested against that standard every time it is rebuilt.
What the site does
Every page works with a keyboard alone, with a screen reader, at 200% zoom and on a small screen. Photographs carry written descriptions; films carry a written account of what they show; recordings carry transcripts. Nothing on the site moves, flashes or plays by itself, and nothing is timed.
Every page is also published in a text-only edition, reachable from the link at the foot of each page. It carries the same words with no images, no layout and no scripts, for slow or metered connections and for readers who simply prefer it.
A reading-preferences panel opens from the button at the bottom left of every page: text size, letter and word spacing, line height, bold text, a typeface designed for low vision, highlighted links and headings, a large cursor, no animation, and four colour modes. What you choose is kept in your own browser, on your own device, and nothing is sent anywhere.
How this is tested
Before each release the site is checked against every WCAG 2.0, 2.1 and 2.2 rule at Levels A and AA that a machine can judge, over a sample of pages drawn from the site's own sitemap — both languages, both editions, at desktop width and at 320 pixels.
The checks a machine cannot make on its own are scripted: that the first thing a keyboard reaches is the link that skips the menus, that everything focused shows a visible outline and is never hidden behind the header, that every menu opens from the keyboard, that nothing scrolls sideways on a narrow screen, that every control outside running text is at least 24 by 24 pixels, and that no text is clipped when a reader forces wider spacing.
The last full check was made on 9 September 2026, and it found nothing.
