Digital collections

The Perkins Archives Flickr site provides access to archival materials in our collections, which include digitized photographs and documents, as well as photographed artifacts.

Archives staff are currently moving the collections from Flickr.com and the Internet Archive to digital-archives.Perkins.org. This move will facilitate research and accessibility standards that are in line with Perkins School for the Blind’s mission. All legacy content from the old sites will be brought into this platform with metadata that meets the Perkins Archives’ most current standards. Once moved off of the legacy collections, they will only be available on this platform. Until this process is finished, please consult the legacy sites to access all of Perkins’ digitized resources.  

Our Flickr collections are undergoing a reparative metadata update, and consequently, most of our older collections are not up to our current standards of accessibility. If you need more of an image description than what is provided please contact the archives staff at [email protected] and we will provide you with one. Visit Perkins Archives Flickr site to explore our diverse collections or use the links provided on this page to explore the collections by topic. 

If you’re interested in using any of our images, please see our Image Use and Licensing page for more information.
