[Nfb-history] Spanish Language Material on NFB Web Site

[Peter Donahue]

Hello everyone,

    First if someone could send me a recording of the Living History Meeting 
following the convention I'd appreciate that very much. I have three 
recording jobs to do on Saturday June 30 one of which over-laps the time of 
the Living History Group meeting so won't be able to make it but would 
appreciate knowing what went on.

    One issue I feel should be discussed is the inclusion of material on the 
NFB Web Site in Spanish. Our Spanish translations of certain NFB articles 
and speeches is listed in the "Literature" section but cannot be accessed 
for online reading or listening as many other publications can. Given the 
large number of current and potential Hispanic members I believe this needs 
to change. The NFB of Puerto Rico Web Site shouldn't be the only place where 
blind Hispanics can find material in their native language.

    For the past three years I recorded the annual seminar for Spanish 
Speakers held during the national convention. This year's Spanish Seminar 
will be the third one to be recorded. I would hope that in the future these 
Spanish translations of NFB material will not only be listed in the 
"Literature" section but can be accessed in text, audio, and video formats 
to allow us to better reach the blind Hispanic Community. All the best.

In caverns deep a burning snare,
He shot from heaven a piercing ray,
And the dark treachery brought to day.”
