Deaf World Library and Museum

Dr. Bryan Eldredge

In October 2013, Dr. Bryan Eldredge, the director of the American Sign Language and Deaf Studies at Utah Valley University (UVU), received $50,000 grant from Washington, D.C.’s Institute of Museum and Library Services to help plan the first digital “Deaf World Library and Museum.” For more information about the Deaf Culture digital library, see the attached article entitled, “UVU Professor Plans First Deaf Culture Digital Library” written by Natalie Crofts posted on ksl.com. Dr. Eldredge’s dream has finally become a reality.

The Utah Deaf Community – Although the Utah Deaf history materials and photographs are not part of the grant, Dr. Eldredge and Catherine Mclntyre, UVU Archivist, are interested in collecting and preserving Utah Deaf history materials and photographs.  Catherine and her team will digitally scan and upload them into the Mountain West Digital Library for genealogy and research purposes. Please go to the “The George Sutherland Archives” webpage for more information.

The digital technology has become increasingly popular. The increasing use of digital technology in research has become available online today and the advantage of this technology allows us to do the research at home instead of going to the library. 

Members of the Utah Deaf community are encouraged to donate their materials and photographs to the UVU George Sutherland Achieves for historical preservation as well as genealogy/research purposes.

If you wish to donate the materials and/or photographs to the UVU George Sutherland Achieves, please contact either Catherine Mclntyre (MCINTYCA@uvu.edu) or Jodi Kinner (JodiBeckerKinner@gmail.com). If you have questions and/or concerns, please let us know as well.

Your donation is greatly appreciated!
