Date: 2012-05-02 04:21 pm (UTC)One thing I would have talked about had the comments not been so awful: The archives here in Ontario do on-site preservation work. (Important stuff!) Because it's a new building, they were able to have the workbenches all made to the heights of the archivists at the time... who were all on the shorter side. When they hired new ones, many of them were tall, so they invested in these new adjustable workbenches that can be easily raised or lowered to work best with someone's height needs, and are thus also really great to adjust for people who use wheelchairs. They bring them down to the main reading room on request (and have signs that say that they can do so).
Accessibility! Not just for cripples!
