Have you ever wondered what the original Braille code as written by its
inventor, Louis Braille, included? Are you fascinated by the variety of
tools for Braille writing and embossing that people have used since Braille
was introduced almost two centuries ago? What about alternate tactile
writing systems: what happened to them?
Join us for a virtual visit with the Museum Director of the American
Printing House for the Blind. Mike Hudson will share highlights from
Braille's rich history and describe some of the intriguing items in the APH
museum collection.
Anyone is welcome. Our weekly remote Braille Study Group is an evolution of
the in-person group hosted at the New York Library's Andrew Heiskell
Braille & Talking Book branch. Whether you're new to Braille or a seasoned
reader; blind, sighted, or somewhere in between; local or far away, we
welcome you for fellowship, learning and encouragement on your Braille
literacy journey.

To join our technology and Braille team's event announcement list, please

about all the other remote programming we offer.
