Accessibility statement for the King's Past project
This is the accessibility statement for the King’s Past project.
Measures to support accessibility
King’s Digital Lab takes the following measures to ensure accessibility of King’s Past:
- Include commitment to accessibility as part of our values;
- The King’s Digital Lab team regularly tests its online services and systems to ensure they meet accessibility requirements when covered by a Service Level Agreement. We aim to comply with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 AA at minimum when feasible.
Conformance status
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. It defines three levels of conformance: Level A, Level AA, and Level AAA. King’s Past is partially conformant with WCAG 2.1 level AA. Partially conformant means that some parts of the content do not fully conform to the accessibility standard.

Limitations and alternatives
Despite our best efforts to ensure the accessibility of King’s Past, there may be some limitations. Below is a description of known limitations, and potential solutions. Please contact us if you observe an issue not listed below.
Known limitations for King’s Past
3D Model viewer (Sketchfab) : The site includes embedded 3D models from Sketchfab. These embeds contain duplicate ARIA labels on their main elements due to limitations in the third-party embedding service. This issue can be observed on our Demonumenta project page which contains multiple 3D model viewers. While this may trigger accessibility warnings, it does not impact the actual functionality or accessibility of the content. Each 3D model viewer is properly labeled with unique titles and contained within clearly marked regions.
We are monitoring this issue and will update our implementation if Sketchfab provides a solution in the future. If you encounter any difficulties accessing the 3D content, please contact us and we will provide alternative means to view the information.
Assessment approach
King’s Digital Lab assessed the accessibility of King’s Past by the following approaches:
- Self-evaluation using Axe accessibility tools
- Manual testing of the site by the King’s Digital Lab team
