Accessibility
The digitized scrapbooks collection has been digitized and made available on the Internet Archive, which utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) and downloadable file formats, including Daisy, to provide access to users who are blind and visually impaired. We acknowledge that OCR is prone to errors, and cannot recognize graphics or handwritten text, thus creating barriers to these materials. It is our intention that by providing the materials as is, the resource is findable online to all. If any of Perkins Archives resources accessed online aren’t accessible in part or in whole, to a user because of a disability, we will create an accessible version upon request.
The digitized volumes span 1829-1958 and contain clippings on many topics including Perkins, other schools for students who are blind or deafblind, related organizations, and notable figures such as Laura Bridgman and Helen Keller. They also contain ephemera such as theater programs. The list provides links to all digitized volumes and is arranged in alphabetical order by name of volume followed by date span, and then volume number.
