The first Jodi Mattes Access Award for accessible museum-related websites has been awarded to the National Maritime Museum in Greenwich at the RNIB Talking Images conference on 20 May 2003. This exemplary website demonstrates that making a website accessible to the disabled is certainly not incompatible with making it dynamic and interesting to others. The Tate were commended for their i-Map project making their Matisse Picasso exhibition accessible to the blind. The award is named after Jodi Mattes (1973-2001) who worked on disabled access projects for the RNIB and the British Museum, including the COMPASS project. (469 words in story) Full Item
