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@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@nypl.org
