Abstract

This document is the result of the 2024 Elspeth McConnell Fine Arts Internship Award undertaken by Mehrnoosh Alborzi, with Concordia University Press. Alborzi spent several months exploring, researching, and engaging in writing alt-text specifically for academic and art-historical books. The internship concluded with a presentation where Alborzi shared these reflections in conversation with CUP's Ryan Van Huijstee in October 2024 at Concordia University’s 4th Space during Open Access Week. A recording of this presentation is available on the 4th Space YouTube channel. The following set of suggested guidelines and practices is a result and summary of the internship and presentation.
