At South Carolina State Museum, we’re committed to accessibility. It is our policy to ensure that everyone, including persons with disabilities, has full and equal access to our digital offerings.

South Carolina State Museum strives to meet the following accessibility standards: Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.0 AA, and PDF/Universal Accessibility (PDF/UA) to ensure our digital offerings are ADA Compliant.

Here are just some of the many ways that South Carolina State Museum is accessible and meets the above accessibility standards:

  • Descriptive alternative text is assigned to every meaningful image on our website
  • Our website is navigable without a mouse, by keyboard only
  • We use a focus indicator to highlight interactive elements on our website
  • We ensure that all text to background color contrast meets a 4.5:1 ratio
  • We include a skip navigation link on all pages of our website
  • We maintain a consistent and predictable layout throughout our website

Beyond our existing remediation measures, we continually review our website to ensure we adhere to best practices in web accessibility.

Through our genuine and good faith commitment and devotion to accessibility, we believe we not only meet but exceed the digital accessibility requirements imposed by Title I, II, & III of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and Section 504 & 508 of the Rehabilitation Act.

South Carolina State Museum is committed to accessibility and we are always seeking to improve. If you know of a way we can improve, we’d love to hear more. Email us at: webmaster@scmuseum.org
