As part of meeting the WCAG 2.0 standards, all material on the site will be provided in HTML format. Some larger documents may be first published in PDF and then provided as soon as possible in an accessible HTML version. If you require an accessible version of any document that is waiting to be transcribed into HTML please contact us.

PDFs

Some material on this site is available in PDF format. We use PDFs because they're portable, printable and can be reasonably accessible. Free programs are available to read PDFs.
