Hi Sami,
Their website is at:
http://www.matildaziegler.com/
They have an archive of all past magazine issues by month and year. On the 
home page, they have the last magazine that was published back in January.

Hi Misty.

I aggree with Ashley, that magazine does sound really
interesting.
Too bad I'm not subscribed to x; however, do you
know if there is a way to see past articles of the magazine?
Because if there is, I would definitely read them and subscribe
once the magazine is back up thanks to your description.
Thank you again for that!

Sami.

Magazine ForTheBlind

Hi Ashley,
I liked it, because it covered a wide range of topics, including
new
technologies for the blind being developed, how to use existing
technologies, articles about experiences with guide dogs,
editorial-type
articles on various topics both blindness related and other
subjects,
articles about personal and meaningful memories that authors had
from their
past or in their childhood, and a recipe of the week section.
There was also
a supplement to the magazine that had a pen pal section where
readers
interested in finding pen pals could list their interests and how
they
wanted to be contacted.  The supplement also had an events
section where
blindness-related events, such as summer camps and different
classes, were
posted as readers submitted them.  There was also another section
for
announcements, where readers could announce anything that was
going on or
talk about promotions in their businesses and other things of
this nature.
Toward the end, a chat line section was even created to list all
chat lines
that readers sent in.  At the end of the magazine, there was a
reader
discussion section where readers of the magazine could comment on
any of the
articles published in the magazine previously.  Most of the
authors were
regular contributors who were blind themselves and shared a lot
of their own
personal experiences with blindness, guide dogs, and
blindness-related
technology, but they also had other contributors who were sighted
who dealt
with subjects such as their experiences with teaching the blind
or parenting
a blind child, among other things.  The magazine always started
with a short
letter from the editor describing any specific articles that
would be in the
magazine and if there were any announcements or new sections that
would be
added.  They also changed editors a few months back, so I am not
sure if that
had anything to do with the discontinuation of it, although I am
assuming
that that was a decision made by the board as indicated in the
editor's last
letter.
Misty

Hi,
I think they will start it up once they have funding.
So you subscribed.  What did you like about it? What topics were
covered and
did it have articles from blind people in various parts of the
world?

Thanks.

For
TheBlind

Hi everyone I'd like to reply to the thread I started yesterday.
I really miss receiving the Matilda Zeigler Magazine For The
Blind in my inbox each Monday afternoon.  It was through this
publication that I kept in touch with what happens in the
blindness community.  I love being able to copy the recipes that
were submitted on a weekly basis.  I wonder if the magazine will
ever be published again.
