RIT Deaf Studies Archives

In the Fall of 2019, students in RIT/NTID Deaf Art & Cinema course picked artifacts in the RIT/NTID Deaf Studies Archives to research and create display labels for a Pop Up exhibit to be displayed along with the artifacts during the ARTiculating Deaf Experiences conference.  Special thanks to RIT librarian Joan Naturale and RIT archivist Liz Call for their work with the students. Click the caption link for the pdf for each artifact.
