The Archives has over 221 manuscript collections and more manuscripts are continuously being added. The collections may be the papers of faculty members, deaf individuals, or deaf organizations. Each collection has a “register,” which includes a biographical/historical sketch, scope and content description, folder index, and other related materials. (See: Manuscript Collections for the Registers.) Note: Some related materials may not be listed in the Register. The Register is not a comprehensive listing Therefore a search in SUMMON Catalog is often necessary to find additional resources. Go to:
