The following are links provided to resources that are in the process of being to be moved to this site. Legacy text resources will be located on the Internet Archive, which utilizes optical character recognition (OCR) and downloadable file formats, including Daisy, to provide access to users who are blind and visually impaired. We acknowledge that OCR is prone to errors, and cannot recognize graphics or handwritten text, thus creating barriers to some of these materials. It is our intention that by providing the materials as is, the resource is findable online to all while we work to get these materials on this site where OCR is cleaned up. If any of Perkins Archives resources accessed online aren't accessible in part or in whole, to a user because of a disability, we will create an accessible version upon request my emailing Archives@Perkins.org.
