The CUDRG participated in #MuseumWeek 2017 on twitter last week, highlighting stories from both A Wheelchair History of Disability in Canada as well as Envisioning Technologies. Screen Shot 2017-06-28 at 12.14.13 AM

Above is one of the tweets of Dominique Marshall, in which she spotlights the story of Roland Galarneau – an entrepreneur and inventor of a machine called the “Converto-Braille” which he designed in order to facilitate the printing of inaccessible texts into braille.
