Accessibility.

Our aims.

The Open Library of Humanities seeks the highest standards of accessibility for its titles and to be an inclusive publisher of research material. To this end, we are constantly working with our partners to update our platform and to ensure that we meet relevant professional standards.

If you have any accessibility problems when accessing an OLH website or title, please contact our accessibility specialist Steph Driver, and we will work to address this as our highest priority.

Accessibility of this website.

We carried out a major update to this website in early February 2024. In April 2024 we completed an audit to determine its conformance with the AA standard of WCAG 2.2. As of 2026 we are moving to a rolling audit programme with our results continuiously released on GitHub.

The primary aim of each audit is to identify accessibility improvements which are then planned through our Accessibility Project on GitHub.

Accessibility of Janeway.

This website is powered by our in-house publishing platform Janeway, and so relies on Janeway to be accessible. We recently launched a project to re-assess Janeway’s conformance to WCAG. For more information, read our blog post about this undertaking and track our progress making accessibility improvements to Janeway.
