Deaf Sports Museum - Survey

[drcy]

Great idea for a musuem. I am currently working as a museum studies practicum coordinator at the University of Washington, and museums these days are big into catering for the sensory handicapped-- and, really, all people who learn and experience in different ways. The Chicago Art Institute has relief versions of some of its paintings for the blind.

I'm currently working with a grad student from Colombia who's final project presentation is on, you guessed it-- identifying, dating and authenticating old photographs. She's got her blacklight and pocket microscope, and we've made digital reprints of many of theoriginal photos for her presentation on how to tell the difference. For the record, she knows nothing about baseball and commented that I use too many baseball-related examples in my books. She also said to me "I'm already very nervous about public speaking, and English isn't even my native language!" I assure her that she'll do great and I understand everything she says.

Can I have at least 7 of you to do this survey as Im trying to get more numbers of people who can hear and know not much about deaf sports history so I can have a better data to work with.

Thanks so much!

It only took about 5 minutes to do. Very easy. Good luck!!

Done. I’m not sure how appealing this would be for the general public, although I’d be interested in knowing the top 5 deaf athletes and their likely inspiring stories. I would be interested in viewing an online museum, but wouldn’t travel to attend one. I could see how this would be appealing to those who are hearing impaired.

FWIW, I did attend middle school with a deaf schoolmate and I spent many hours learning ASL in order to communicate with him. But otherwise have not met or been in contact with a deaf person in about 30 years (shockingly).

Good luck to you, sir!
