In celebration of this milestone, we partnered with the National Library Service for the Blind and Print Disabled (NLS) to make American Revolution era maps available in multiple accessible formats with audio narration for context and description. The virtual orientation will focus on the process to make the maps accessible and the access points to the maps on the NLS website. After the presentation, staff look forward to answering additional questions from attendees.
