Guidance

The following are a curated list of available guidance documents and knowledge bases for accessible publishing. They are neither courses to complete or models/frameworks to structure work, both of which are available in other areas of this Open Accessibility book. Instead they are details of established best practice that serve as introductions to accessible publishing, authored by key organisations within the more general publishing space.
