Dear Colleagues:

A colleague of mine and I are completing a paper about deaf botanists/horticulturists. Does your botanical garden / arboretum keep archival materials on specific deaf botanists/horticulturists? I can provide a list of the ones we know, if needed, and will appreciate knowing about other deaf botanists/horticulturists we may not have in our manuscript.

Part of our project involves writing about programs and any other accommodations botanical gardens / arboreta do to foster a more fulfilling experience for people with deafness and other disabilities. Any information you may have on the subject is welcomed.

Gratefully,

Jorge
