Helen Keller Archive Launches

We’re pleased to celebrate the launch of the Helen Keller Archive, a groundbreaking digital collection of materials illuminating the life and work of Helen Keller. A project of the American Foundation for the Blind (AFB) and directed by APH alumna Helen Selsdon, it has been designed to be fully accessible to blind, deaf, deafblind, sighted and hearing audiences alike. 

Start perusing this incredible collection with a blog post about one of its thousands of items penned by our own APH director, Ellen Noonan.
