Overview

The image is from the U.S. National Archives and shows a teacher and children in front of an American flag signing.This guide will assist you in finding Deaf resources such as books, journals, articles, and databases. Deaf-related resources tend to be in the HV2300-HV2600 area for books, bound periodicals, and DVDs. However, Deaf topics will be found in different call number areas. If you have questions, feel free to contact me, Joan Naturale - I am the NTID and Deaf Studies Librarian and am happy to help. 

An interesting book is Through Deaf Eyes: A Photographic History of the American Deaf Community. A companion DVD is available. There is also a YouTube video. 

The best way to find older articles is to use the Gallaudet Deaf Periodical Index database and type in your keywords. You will see citations that give you the month/year of the journal where you can find the articles. Explore the online American Annals of the Deaf
