A visit from the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind

On November 12, eight students and two teachers from the Colorado School for the Deaf and Blind visited Colorado College Special Collections. They worked with 4,000-year-old Sumerian clay tablets and with a Hebrew text on vellum (animal skin). Some of the students used magnifiers; others used just their sense of touch. The students, who were in sixth, seventh, and eighth grade, had recently made their own clay tablets; they were surprised at the small size of the ones at CC.
