| Abstract: | Key points - Testing for accessibility after extensive changes to a website and addressing them as technical debt is unsustainable in the long term.
- To stay modern and efficient, providers of digital content to academic institutions should build accessibility into development.
- For JSTOR, working with participating institutions to understand their concerns was essential to reaching WCAG 2.0 AA conformance.
- With Artstor recently joining ITHAKA, we face the challenge of making a visual archive accessible.
