  From our Equity Commitments and Communications Guidelines:

  Commitment to Accessibility

  The ACA Communications Committee has reviewed the recently published Equity Commitments. In alignment with the following Equity Commitments,

  • Equity Commitment 1: "The ACA will prioritize the urgent need for equity and justice for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour), people with disabilities, new Canadians, and 2SLGBTQIA+ individuals and communities"
  • Equity Commitment 4: "The ACA will actively work to make its programs and services accessible to an increasingly diverse archives and recordkeeping profession"

  the Communications Committee has recently launched an accessibility task force to review existing literature and guidelines for to ensure best practices for accessibility our achieved through our communication channels. Using the WCAG 2 (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2), we commit to making content that is Perceivable, Operable, Understandable, and Robust.  

   In terms of our workflow going forward, we commit to the following standards for all communications platforms:  

  • Alt-text will be added to all images 
  • Captions will be added to all videos 
  • Color contrast will be checked when conveying textual information through images 
  • Camel Case (#ThisIsCamelCase) will be used in Hashtags, hashtags will only be used at the end of posts  
  • Contact information will be available on each social media platform for feedback 
  • We will create content in plain language.
