Accessibility & Site Updates

We have updated the site’s accessibility features and content to better serve all visitors—including those using screen readers, mobile devices, and assistive technologies.

Safeguarding, in place since day one, has been updated so that supervision and age‑appropriate access are clearly defined and consistently enforced.

Our top menu (Nav) has also been redesigned to accommodate mobile devices.

We’ve updated the site to widescreen view, better for showcasing high-resolution images, text and videos by allowing them to span across the entire screen.

We've enabled users to cite our website, so that researchers, students, and educators can quickly generate proper references without manual formatting.

We have also updated our Security Statement, outlining daily scans, Avast One antivirus protection, and Windows Firewall safeguards. Visitors can view our live SSLTrust security report for transparency.

These ongoing updates are part of our commitment to accuracy, inclusive heritage documentation, and public benefit.
