Non-Medical Aspects of Blindness Collection

By ann | July 9, 2014

The Samuel P. Hayes Research Library & Archives at Perkins in Watertown, MA is a resource for the public. According to its website, the library holds the largest and most comprehensive collection of the non-medical aspects of blindness and deafblindnes that is available to the public. Visit the online card catalog. Research Librarian, Jan Seymour-Ford is glad to scan any articles or specific book chapters and email them. Materials do not circulate.

The Hayes Library, also, has resource packets, including one available for Laura Bridgman, the first deafblind woman to be educated in the U.S. The packet may be requested or downloaded. The TBPlus blog recently announced that  the fictional biography about Laura Bridgman entitled, What is Visible (DB78666) by Kimberly Elkins, recorded in 2014 is available in download format through the Talking Books Plus BARD service.
