Accessibility Statement

Last Updated: November 1, 2026

Our Commitment to Accessibility

The Laurel Cemetery Memorial Project (LCMP) is committed to making its website accessible and usable for as many visitors as possible, including individuals with disabilities.

Our website provides access to historical information, cemetery records, educational resources, and research materials documenting the history and legacy of Laurel Cemetery in Baltimore, Maryland.

We strive to provide a welcoming digital experience that allows visitors to explore these resources regardless of ability or the technology they use.

Accessibility Standards

LCMP aims to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.2, Level AA, established by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).

These guidelines address accessibility considerations for individuals with visual, auditory, physical, and cognitive disabilities.

Although we strive to follow recognized accessibility practices, we do not guarantee that every element of the website fully conforms to these standards.

Website Accessibility

Our website is designed with consideration for:

- Clear and consistent navigation.
- Readable typography and organized content.
- Responsive layouts for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices.
- Appropriate text and background contrast.
- Descriptive headings and meaningful links.
- Alternative text for informative website images where available.
- Compatibility with common browsers and assistive technologies.

LCMP may also provide accessibility tools that allow visitors to adjust certain aspects of their browsing experience.

These features are intended to improve usability but may not address every accessibility need.

Historical and Third-Party Materials

The LCMP website includes historical documents, photographs, archival records, maps, videos, and other research materials.

Many of these resources were created, digitized, or published by outside institutions and organizations.

Because of their original format or third-party source, some materials may not be fully compatible with screen readers or other assistive technologies.

LCMP does not control the accessibility or technical formatting of independently produced historical materials or external resources.

We encourage visitors experiencing difficulty with externally hosted content to contact the institution or organization responsible for maintaining that resource.

Cemetery Records Search

Our website includes a searchable database of cemetery-related records intended to support genealogical research, historical education, and public access to information.

If you experience difficulty using the search feature or locating information, you may contact LCMP for assistance.

Updates to This Statement

Accessibility is an ongoing consideration as the LCMP website develops and changes.

This statement may be updated to reflect changes in website functionality, accessibility practices, or applicable standards.
