Accessibility and Disability Section

Welcome to the Accessibility and Disability Section!

The SAA Accessibility and Disability Section is committed to being an inclusive community for people with disabilities and allies to learn from each other, share resources, and promote accessibility and disability representation across the archival profession.

Founded in 2019, SAA Accessibility and Disability Section has accomplished a lot in a short time from being honored by an SAA Council Resolution by spearheading the Archivists at Home document, advocating for inclusive interviewing practices, and creating accessible education practices.

Browse our microsite and blog to find resources for accessibility and directories of disability-related collections.
