Accessibility Statement

New Netherland Institute is committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of technology or ability. We aim to conform to the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standards and to improve accessibility on an ongoing basis.

Our Approach

  • Designing and developing with semantic HTML, proper headings, labels, and alt text.
  • Maintaining sufficient color contrast and visible focus states.
  • Supporting keyboard navigation and screen-reader compatibility.
  • Testing with automated tools and human reviews during updates.

Compatibility

This site is intended to work with the current and previous major versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari, and with assistive technologies such as screen readers and browser zoom.

Third-Party Content

We sometimes embed or link to third-party services (e.g., videos, forms, maps). While we cannot control their code, we select providers that state a commitment to accessibility and raise issues when we find them.

Feedback & Requests

If you encounter a barrier or need content in an alternative format, please contact us. We typically respond within 5 business days.

Ongoing Improvements

Accessibility is an ongoing effort. We review new content and features before release, address reported issues promptly, and update our standards as guidance evolves.
