Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind and Hard of Hearing

The Minnesota Commission of the Deaf, DeafBlind & Hard of Hearing is a governor-appointed state commission that advocates for communication access and equal opportunity with the 20% of Minnesotans who are deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing. The collection in the Minnesota Digital Library consists of items contributed by deaf, deafblind, and hard of hearing community members via the Commission in order to preserve their unique heritage and make it available for sharing. The collection includes photos and other historical information contributed by the Charles Thompson Memorial Hall, the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens, and the Minnesota State Academy for the Deaf Alumni Association Museum.
