Accessibility

Flanders Heritage Libraries believes that well kept and accessible heritage collections are an essential building block for a self aware, critical society. This means that the partially sighted, blind, colour blind, elderly and those with a hearing or physical impairment, should also be able to get acquainted with our organisation, with heritage collections in Flemish and Brussels libraries and information on their management and conservation. At the end of 2010, our organisation website (www.vlaamse-erfgoedbibliotheken.be) received the AnySurfer-label, a Belgian quality label for accessible websites. Websites with this label are functional for everyone.
