Join Mike Hudson, Director of the Museum of the American Printing House 
for the Blind in Louisville, Kentucky for a lively walk through a 
history of the braille code and the development of the mechanical 
braillewriter around the world. Along the way we'll share new research 
on the roots of braille in a code originally developed by the brilliant 
but often misunderstood Charles Barbier.
Plus, enjoy a lively round of Braille trivia and share what Braille 
literacy means to you.


Anyone is welcome! Our remote tech and culture programs are an 
evolution of the in -person and hybrid workshops hosted at the Andrew 
Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library. Whether you're blind, 
sighted, or somewhere in between, in New York City or on the other side 
of the world, we welcome you for fellowship, learning and dialog.
To join our technology and Braille team's event announcement list, just 
email heiskelltech+subscribe at googlegroups.com 
<mailto:heiskelltech%2Bsubscribe at googlegroups.com> - we'll let you know 
about all the other remote programming we offer.
To learn more about us or suggest a workshop, or to volunteer your 
time, contact our tech coordinator: chanceyfleet at nypl.org 
<mailto:chanceyfleet at nypl.org>
To support open discussion and patron privacy, our workshops are never 
recorded.
