GATHERING OUR HISTORY

We are currently gathering historical data and items related to the Iowa Braille and Sight Saving School. We have seen many historical items sold on ebay that go into private collectors hands were it is hidden from public display or hidden away. It is our hope to gather as much as possible to preserve for future historical data and make available for display to all interested individuals. If you have any items, including paperwork, photos, books, or other memorabilia and would like to see it preserved for others to enjoy please contact us. We understand that some photos hold personal value and would only request a chance to make copies to share.

One project that has been suggested is a time line display of the campus grounds. along with this display we would hope to have those items used on campus relating to that time period. All donors will be recognized and items identified.

If you have items you would like to share with others please contact us at P. O. Box 87, Vinton, Iowa 52349. If you wish to keep your original prints or papers please consider making copies of these items for us or allowing us to do so..

If you have stories that you would like to share please send them to us at the above address or by e-mail to the webmaster@ibsssalumni.org. If we get enough stories we will begin posting them on this web site.

The Iowa Braille School Alumni Association is a non profit 501c3 organization. If you would like to support our efforts in preserving the history of Iowa Braille or aiding us in our many other projects please consider a tax deductible donation.
