Short stories giving glimpses into the experiences of 29 deaf Minnesotans were recorded by Doug Bowen-Bailey of Digiterp Communications and produced on DVD as a benefit for the Minnesota Association of Deaf Citizens (MADC) and the Minnesota Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (MRID).

 

MADC and MRID generously contributed the Signs of Minnesota interview materials to MNCDHH so that they could be incorporated into this important oral-visual history video collection for archiving at the Minnesota Historical Society.

 

The materials are currently not available online, but the original DVD can be purchased through Digiterp Communications.
