[Athen] tactile world maps

[Kelmer, Susan M.]

I created tactile maps using a blow-up of a map and a sheet of sand
paper, which I then used to "emboss" by drawing over the lines of the
map.  It worked well but was time-consuming for me to do!

Hi all,

 

I know this has been asked here before, but here goes again.

 

I was contacted by a colleague at another institution looking for
tactile maps of the world.  I suggested American Printing House for the
Blind and American Foundation for the Blind.  However, it seems like I
remember somebody giving another resource for such maps.  Any ideas?

 

Thanks.
