WAVE is alerting to the below image as having a redundant link

ANDI is also alerting to the below and I think they might be related.

Needs it. Draft is underway.

• Can we pick a different schedule to display on the home page? Unfortunately this is one of the ones that got a purple cast because of the way NARA makes us do the photographing.

• Should that "schedules" block link to the browse page from the navigation, rather than to the Schedules item set?

WAVE is alerting to the 3 large images on this page as having redundant links. I'm thinking this has to do with the text links on top of them and the image links being the same.

On Mac Book Pro on Firefox, WAVE shows that the "browse" page contains heading levels 1 and 2 but then skips to levels 4 and 5.

According to Lighthouse:

ANDI is alerting to the two "Select filter" dropdowns as not having accessible names or titles. WAVE shows they are missing form labels.

I'm assuming this is a placeholder, but if not the link currently doesn't work. This is the link from the denominations image on the front page, not the one in the menu.

On the Denomination and Locations browse pages, when you click on a state or a denomination family, it opens up a new indented section below that lists all the counties in that state, or all denominations in that denomination family. This works great and give me what I expect to see! However, trying to close that state or denomination family and open a different one is bit more confusing. Right now, it seems like the way to close them is to click on a different state/denomination family. This closes the previous one, and opens the new one. Is this designed that way on purpose?
If the denomination family, for example, if very small (ex. Adventists) and only contains a few denominations, this works well, as you can see the rest of the family to choose from. But if it is, for example, a state with many counties, you have to scroll down a lot to even see the other states you could pick. Would something like an accordion view be possible? So when you click on a state or denomination family, it opens to allow you to view what is inside (counties/denominations), and then if you click the state or denomination family again, it would close, and allow you to pick something else? Not a super pressing issue, but could prevent lots of scrolling.

These are minor questions for the dashboard blocks on the Omeka home page:

• Can the percentage of schedules digitized be rounded to a single decimal place?

• Can we use a comma separator between the thousands in "schedules per denomination"?

Tab order for the image links and the table seems out of order. After tabbing from Schedules image/link to SCHEDULES PER COUNTY table links, the tab actually skips that table and goes to the table on the far right SCHEDULES PER DENOMINATION (Southern Baptist Convention | 13146 specifically), before it goes to the bottom table.

Visually, this lets the page jump up (when the user should be tabbing down), then to the right going down, then moves back to the left.

VOU is reading the images as only having numbers as names. The names on the images should probably reflect the title (i.e "Denominations image" or "image for Denominations) instead of "3331"

According to Lighthouse, HTTP/2 offers many benefits over HTTP/1.1, including binary headers, multiplexing, and server push.

Here's a screenshot of the links pertaining to this. Let me know If you'll need me to link any of them here.

We need the list of denominational families here to align with the families as listed on the browse page. What's current on the denomination family on the browse page is what we want for the denominations page.

This is a question that @gswain2 first thought of.

We know that the static home page site and the Omeka site are distinct CMSes, but that's not a distinction that should matter to the user.

We currently have these links in the navigation:

• Home (links to Omeka home page)
• Browse
• Locations
• Denominations
• Schedule Map
• American Religious Ecologies (links to project home page)

I'd suggest revising that to something like this:

• Project Home (or American Religious Ecologies home?)
• 1926 Census Overview (not quite sure about wording here)
• Denominations
• Locations
• Map of Schedules
• Browse Schedules

I could also see putting "project home" at the bottom of the list where it is currently. The order here follows the draft text in #47.

Other ideas?

How about some text at the top of this page with some instructions:

Click on a state and then a county to see the schedules available in a particular location. If many schedules are available, you can then use the "browse all" link to see every schedule in that location.

A number of images that I don't believe are solely decorative have no alt-text or the like throughout the site.

Using Mac Book Pro and Firefox, ANDI reporting that the table labled, "Schedules per Denomination (Top 25)" as needing greater scope defined, particularly to differentiate between header and row cells.

According to Lighthouse, preconnecting to required origins helps with page load speed.

On the Items page, the omeka items have keyboard access alerts stating that they may only be clicked on with a mouse. ANDI on Mac.

(note: I used the trackpad on my laptop and could click them but was unsure if that was the same thing or not).

Should they receive any special styles?

Using a Mac Book Pro on Firefox, WAVE shows that the heading, "The Census Bureau and American Congregations," is classified as a heading 3 while "The 1926 U.S. Census of Religious Bodies" shows as heading 1. Thus, there is a skipped heading level — number 2.

Perhaps a brief paragraph at the end about the browse interface, the maps, and the locations. How would this work?

There are several ways of browsing the schedules from the 1926 Census of Religious Bodies. By using the denominations [LINK] you can look for congregations that were part of the 214 denominations that the Census Bureau counted. By using the locations [LINK] page you can find schedules from a particular state and county, and you can also see navigate the schedules geographically with the map of schedules [LINK]. If you have a more complex query to narrow down which schedules you want to see, use the browse interface [LINK].

According to Lighthouse, ensure text remains visible during webfont load

This is the link pertaining to the above screenshot

When I click on Browse page, these placeholders pop up instead of the thumbnail photo of the item. It seemed to me that there should be thumbnail images of each schedules instead of a list of the item name. (Using Safari on MacBook Air).

There is just blank text in the middle of the page when you first click the location tab. It seems counter-intuitive and lacking in some sort of way. (Using Safari on MacBook Air).

Once you click into a location and explore around, something about the way the gray bar showing how far up the page you are makes you want to go back to the initial location tab/page, but if you click the left arrow at the top of the browser window, it takes me back to the browse tab which was the last page I was on. (Using Safari on MacBook Air).

The dropdown texts "Select a filter" is throwing 4 alerts on ANDI about contrast. For 2 alerts (text in dropdown) maybe the text should be a darker grey/black or the background should be a lighter grey/white.

The other 2 alerts have to do with the outline of the dropdowns when they are tabbed over.

The border stretches too far to the right on empty space like this when tabbing:

I am seeing an empty heading level on the Denominations page using WAVE on a Mac. It doesn't look like an issue simply on the page but I thought it may confuse some people who use screen readers. Image following.

ANDI reports the tables on the homepage about schedule counts per denomination has no "scope." I'm not sure if that signals a coding issue (says a solution could be to include more cells), but personally I think it might be nice to add a sentence to explain or prepare the user to view the table. Also more padding generally between the tables and images on the homepage might be more aesthetically pleasing.

According to lighthouse there is some unused JS code here:

WAVE is alerting to the Denomination Family and State/Territory fields as missing labels. Also when I use VOU on these dropdowns while tabbing, it reads "edit text Main".

The default ordering throughout seems to be data created in descending order. I'm not sure that is meaningful to the user. Is there a different default that we can use?

Three elements on the homepage, the image with linked elements 'denomination,' 'counties,' and 'schedules,' have no accessible name, etc.

We discussed in Slack updating the state items to include just the items that reflect the country in 1926. But let's discuss before doing that.

At least when I look at it on my browser, the photograph/link to "Denominations" obscures a portion of the main header text.

I am attempting to paste in a screenshot.

When I click sort by title, at least on the Southern Baptist Convention filter, there is one image which has 99 in the name, but it's in between 990 and 989. Not sure if this mixup is happening with many others or if it's just this one.

The footer currently has "Powered by Omeka S," which should definitely stay. What else should go here?

How is this for a draft, borrowing from the main site?

American Religious Ecologies is generously funded in part by the National Endowment for the Humanities and developed by the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University. All of the census schedules on this website are in the public domain. Powered by Omeka S.

Using a Macbook Pro on Firefox, WAVE showed that the search boxes have no text labels that assist with screen readers' navigation.

The spacing on the filter for denominations and between the map and that filter can probably be improved.

Needs it. Draft is underway.
