This website does not comply with the Act on Accessibility to Digital Public Services. Unavailable parts are described below.
The content described below is not fully accessible in one way or another.
There are tables that lack caption elements. The content of the caption provides the table with a description.
There are cases of natural headings.
There are headers that are hidden from sighted users that should be visible.
There are headings that have correct heading structure but not correct visual order.
Among the tested pages there are a large number of examples where the CSS pseudo elements ::before and ::after are used to create content.
The menu that can be folded out from the header lacks the landmark role "Navigation".
Any of the links that can be dropped under the "More from the museum" link represent the current page and lack both visibility and information for screen reader users about it.
There are headings that violate the heading hierarchy.
There is a link-like button in a modal dialog that informs that it is clickable using color alone.
There are six link-like buttons that have a button text that is black and there is no information that the buttons are clickable that is not just color.
There are links in the menu that should be supplemented with a visual difference because not all text in the dropdown area is clickable.
There are three tabs that have a slightly unclear mark that they are clickable, here we suggest to change the appearance to look like tabs.
There are link texts with the color #c61016 and the closest text to the links is the date preceding the links which have the color #404040 which gives a contrast difference of 1,7:1 which is below the limit value of 3,0:1.
There are button icons that are missing information for screen reader users.
There are button icons that have information for screen reader users, provided in English.

It is not possible to exit the date picker without selecting a date or activating the "Clear" button, with one exception the ESC key.
There are filter parameters that change the page's content, which do not automatically convey it to the screen reader.
After each new search on the page, a status message is displayed stating how many search hits the search generated. However, this does not work effectively with a screen reader as the status message is not spoken automatically and without the need for focus on the message.
There are link texts in Chinese and Arabic that the screen reader NVDA cannot read, these should be supplemented with an alternative link text.
There are two input fields for dates as one of the filter options which, when entered, change the content of the page.

ETU AB has carried out an independent review of Norrbotten's museum.

Comments and personal data may be filtered in the future. Your personal data is processed in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
Norrbotten's museum does not publish personal attacks, derogatory comments, insults, slander, threats, incitement against ethnic groups or other forms of harassment. Materials that infringe the rights of others are also not accepted, as is information that contains marketing. This type of comment will be removed. The same applies to comments that are not relevant. If you see a comment that contradicts the above, please contact us.
Comments that are published become visible to other visitors and then also become public record. If you want to leave a comment without it being visible, you can do so via email or regular post. Answers to the comment are provided in the current Carlotta post. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to notify when answers are posted.
