Content archived on or after April 26, 2027 is classified as a General Archive:
- Retained for Reference, Research, or Recordkeeping purposes
- Does not claim ADA Title II accessibility exemption
- Available in the public Archive Registry for reference
- If modified after archiving, removed from public view and flagged for audit
Important: If someone requests that an archived document be made accessible, it must be remediated promptly. Archiving removes the obligation to fix everything in advance, but it does not remove the responsibility to accommodate users with disabilities upon request.
