One of the most critical areas to those of us who work with
historic structures is access. "The Accessible Museum: Model
Programs of Accessibility for Disabled and Older People",
first published in 1993, is still current in its treatment of
ADA law, and provides excellent examples of low cost ways of
working with visitors.  A new video, "Everyone's Welcome:
Universal Access in Museums", is a 24 minute video to assist
your Board of Trustees to understand the obligations of the
law and will help staff and volunteers understand the
importance and relative ease of working with disabled
visitors. Low cost, creative ideas on how to work with more
than 40 million Americans who are disabled and want to be
visitors and support our organizations are presented in the
video.

The book and video can be ordered from:

Education can be a successful antidote to intolerance and
ignorance.
