[Athen] tactile world maps

[Robert Beach]

This is a cool idea.  I don't think I've tried this one before.  Thanks.

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.
