case study of Hellen Keller
Answers
Explanation:
Launched in 2018, the Helen Keller Archive set out to provide access to more than 160,000 letters, documents, photos, press clippings, drawings, and media materials documenting the life and work of the famous author and activist. As sponsors of the project, the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) laid out a mission to make the archive fully accessible to everyone including people with disabilities.
As they detailed in their accessibility statement, the AFB endeavored to make both the interface and content of the Keller Archive accessible such that people with disabilities could “access the site independently, via magnification, synthetic speech, or refreshable braille devices.” These goals flowed naturally from the AFB’s overall mission to “create a world of no limits for people who are blind or visually impaired.” The organization noted that, given Keller’s role in the disability rights movement, it was only right to make her materials available to “researchers and audiences directly affected by this history.”
