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.
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.
This next tweet, featured on Day 6 of #Museumweek and dedicated to the theme of “On the Road”, focuses on the development of wheelchairs for roadways and enhanced mobility.
