Reading should be accessible.
The site is designed for keyboard navigation, adaptable layouts and clear historical reading. Accessibility remains a matter for continued review.
Navigation and structure
Pages use semantic landmarks, a skip-to-content link, one primary heading and structured section headings. Article contents links lead to named sections. The current page is marked in relevant navigation. Sources use descriptive link text.
Keyboard use
Interactive elements are available with a keyboard and display a focus indicator. The mobile navigation button reports whether its menu is expanded. The age confirmation uses a native dialog so focus stays inside while a selection is required. Search results announce the result count without moving focus unexpectedly.
Text and display
Text uses relative sizes, readable line spacing and responsive layouts. Pages can be zoomed, and the reading layout adapts to small screens. The design uses no flashing content or autoplay media. Reduced-motion preferences are respected.
Images and print
Informative images have text alternatives and captions. Editorial illustrations are identified as illustrations. Articles can be printed using the “Print this article” control or your browser’s print command; the print stylesheet removes navigation and other interface elements.
Known limits
The 18+ restriction is a browser-based self-declaration and requires JavaScript for its modal behaviour. Search filtering also requires JavaScript, while article text, topic collections and source links do not. Third-party sources, particularly historical PDFs, may not provide the same level of accessibility. This page describes design provisions rather than claiming certification against an accessibility standard.
