Accessibility
At Staithes Museum, we believe that everyone in our community has the fundamental right to engage with, utilise, and enjoy our collections and services.
We acknowledge that there are many barriers to accessing our museum and its resources, but we are dedicated to making all aspects of our museum as accessible as possible within our available resources. This includes ensuring accessibility to our buildings, collections, events, exhibitions, educational programs, and online resources.
We believe that accessibility is not only for our visitors, but also for our staff. We pride ourselves on our efforts to improve the accessibility of the museum, and to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive and contribute to our mission.
Staithes Museum is also committed to enhancing public access to our collections and the information associated with them. By doing so, we aim to foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of the items we hold and the cultural heritage of Staithes.

Large Print Binders
