Accessibility and Designated Archival Repository Statement

Ball State University Libraries is dedicated to offering accessible digital content and services to all users. We aim to ensure that our websites and digital collections are usable by individuals with disabilities and comply with relevant accessibility standards. 

Archived and Legacy Digital Materials

Ball State University Libraries manages numerous digital archives and digital projects that preserve historical, research, and institutional records. These archives are intended to maintain materials in their original form to safeguard their authenticity, historical integrity, and scholarly value. 

In accordance with 28 C.F.R. § 35.200 and related provisions regarding archived web content, materials preserved in designated archival repositories and maintained in a read-only format may not be required to meet current web accessibility standards. Digital collections or platforms officially designated as archival repositories fall under this archived web content provision. Repositories that qualify will clearly indicate their status as a "Designated Archival Repository" on their homepage or primary landing page. 

Accessibility Remediation

Ball State Libraries is committed to web accessibility for all. We work continually to improve access and usability, informed by accessibility standards. However, if you encounter digital materials that present barriers to your ability to access the information effectively, you may contact our team, and we will make every effort to provide an accessible version in a timely manner.
