Accessibility Statement

AWI is in the process of migrating our vast library of resources and research to this new website. As we do, we are taking advantage of this opportunity to inspect our work and ensure every file meets our accessibility standards. We are fully committed to providing equal access for all people. As such, we are prioritizing upcoming and recent work before remediating older files in the library. If you need a special accommodation or need an older item made accessible sooner, please let us know what you need, by when, and any details about the kind of accommodation you need. We’ll work with you. This process will take time. We appreciate your patience. Thank you.
