A New Website, A Redesigned Archive: 2008 to 2026: 19 Years of Access Technology News Now At Your Fingertips

19 Years of Access Technology News Now at Your Fingertips

I am very happy to report that the full Top Tech Tidbits newsletter archive is now public. Every weekly issue we have on file, from January 2008 to today, is now live on the new Top Tech Tidbits website. For the first time in the publication’s history, the complete available archive is now browsable in one place, by year, at a single URL: https://toptechtidbits.com/newsletters/.

The Gap Has Been Filled

Since the redesign of the Top Tech Tidbits website was completed on December 4, 2025, the publicly available archive stopped at 2018. As of today, it stops at 2008. That’s 10 additional calendar years (about 520 issues) of access technology news, tips, walk-throughs, sponsor announcements, and industry coverage, now sitting in one searchable, screen-reader-friendly archive index.

A Quick Word on How We Got Here

On December 4, 2025, Top Tech Tidbits migrated to a new website hosted on WordPress.com, beginning with Volume 1044. At the time of that migration, we were able to port over issues from 2018 through 2025, every issue from the seven years immediately preceding the move. Older issues, going back to 2008, required additional work: each one needed to be brought forward individually and preserved as what we now call a legacy archive page.

Translation: Legacy archive pages keep the original formatting that the issue went out in, exactly the way readers received it that week. They look slightly different from issues published since Volume 1044 (which use the redesigned WordPress.com layout), but every word, every link, and every Sponsor is preserved.

Several months of patient work later, and that effort is now complete.

Every Weekly Issue, Organized by Year

The archive index lives at https://toptechtidbits.com/newsletters/. It is organized chronologically, year by year, with every weekly issue listed in the order it went out.

What you will find inside:

  • Every numbered Tidbit from every weekly issue across 19 calendar years.
  • Every Sponsored Tidbit, Featured Advertisement, Spotlight Advertisement, Sponsor Wall logo, Buy/Sell/Trade listing, and Classified Advertisement that ran during a Sponsor’s run with the publication.
  • Every Featured Survey, Featured Podcast Episode, and Featured Event from years past.
  • Every Supporter listing, every News Team byline, every editorial note, preserved.

Browse by year. Search by keyword. Find a Tidbit you read in 2012 and could not remember where. Find a Sponsor you have been working with since 2015 and pull up everything that ran while they were on board. Find a how-to you bookmarked years ago and lost.

It’s all there now.

An Archive Is Only Useful If Everyone Can Read It

The new archive index page has been visually refreshed alongside the rest of the site. It is easier to scan, organized intentionally by year, and built to work the way the rest of Top Tech Tidbits has always worked: with accessibility at every level.

The new archive page conforms to WCAG 2.1 AA, the same standard the rest of the site meets. It is fully optimized for screen readers and automated assistants. The legacy archive pages themselves retain their original formatting, but the navigation, headings, and structural markup wrapping them are screen-reader-first.

Why This Matters

This expansion matters for three audiences in particular.

For readers, it is institutional memory restored. Top Tech Tidbits has been documenting the access technology field every single week for more than two decades. That coverage, the product launches, the policy shifts, the conferences attended, the questions asked and answered, is now research-grade history, browsable on demand. If you read it here once, you can find it again.

For Sponsors and Advertisers, archive depth equals SEO depth equals permanent brand presence. Every Classified Advertisement, every Featured Advertisement, every Sponsored Tidbit, every Sponsor Profile, and every Sponsor Wall logo that has appeared in the newsletter is now permanently archived on the site, continuing to drive traffic and search ranking long after the campaign window closes. Sponsors who ran with us in 2012 still have their content on the site in 2026. That is exactly what permanent dofollow archival is supposed to deliver, and now it covers an additional 10 calendar years.

For supporters and the wider access technology community, the work of every past editor, partner, contributor, and reader is also preserved in one place. That includes the contributions of original publisher Dean Martineau (2004–2007), Larry Lewis of Flying Blind, LLC (2007–2020), and every guest contributor and partner organization since. This publication has always been built on the contributions of a community, and the archive now honors that community properly.

And, as always, thank you, to the readers who have made Top Tech Tidbits the world’s #1 online resource for current news and trends in access technology for more than two decades, to the sponsors and supporters who keep it running, and to the editorial team who still vets every Tidbit, every single week.

This archive is yours.

Cheers,
