Alex McGrath, 2017
The Samuel P. Hayes Research Library was founded in 1880 to support research on blindness and visual impairments. One mission of the library is to maintain a collection on the “current, historical, and non-medical” aspects of visual impairment, including perceptions in popular culture. Each clipping had been cataloged in the Research Library, photocopied, and is available in bound collections as part of the Magazine Files.

The user agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Perkins School for the Blind, its officers, employees, and agents from and against all claims made by any person asserting that he or she is an owner of copyright.
This collection is composed of clippings from magazines, newspapers, journals, circulars, and almanacs. The bulk of this material is fiction, with a concentration of nonfiction in the period 1981-1984. Four photographs are also included.
