Please join us for "Reimagining Access: Inclusive Technology for Archives & Special Collections" an IMLS funded symposium hosted by ArtCenter College of Design.

The ArtCenter Library, Interaction Design Department, and Designmatters invite you to a symposium exploring how designers can work with people with disabilities to improve the user experience and accessibility of digital archives. The event is held in conjunction with a studio class exploring ways to make digital archives more accessible. 

The symposium will feature sessions on the current challenges of access to archives, industry design practices and initiatives, and emerging directions. Speakers include designers, archivists, librarians, and disability advocates. The full program and list of speakers is forthcoming. 

The symposium is part of a grant-funded project from the Institute of Museum and Library Services. The event will be recorded.
