Guide to Deaf Biographies
IMPORTANT NOTE
This database is not current. It was last updated in April, 2007, and there is no plan to update it again. More recent biographical information is available through public search engines.
This guide is based on the work of three former Gallaudet University librarians and Washington Research Library Consortium (WRLC) staff. Many years before the Internet existed Carolyn Jones created a deaf biographical database. The database made it possible for researchers to find information that was otherwise buried in books and periodicals. In the 1990s Thomas R. Harrington created a master index of multi-subject deaf biographies and merged it with Miss Jones’ information. Through the 1990s and until 2007, he expanded and updated it as new works were published or discovered. Jane Rutherford coded the information, and WRLC staff provided assistance and the use of the WRLC server.
