My responsibilities as the NTID Librarian are to help develop The Deaf Studies, Culture & History Archive collections and teach classes using the collection.
The Deaf Studies, Culture & History Archive has interesting collections related to Deaf Art and De'VIA. Look up Deaf Artists in the finding aids collection. When you click on a finding aid, some have a detailed inventory list. Scroll down to find this and click on the PDF to see the inventory.
The RIT Archives is in the library building and is open Monday-Friday from 9 am-12 pm and 1 pm-5 pm. It is best to make appointments with the archivists. You can email the archivists using the contact page.
Faculty, if you are interested in booking a class to review these or other items, please get in touch with Joan Naturale, NTID Librarian at jxnwml@rit.edu or call 585-286-4635 (V/VP).
