| Abstract:
|
A small collection of records from the International Sunshine Society, Department
of the Blind. The International Sunshine Society, a charity incorporated in 1900 “to
bring the sunshine of happiness to the greatest possible number of hearts,” extended
its work to the care and education of the sightless through its homes for “blind babies”
(i.e., minors) at Dyker Heights, Brooklyn, and Summit, New Jersey, among other locations.
Monthly meeting minutes for 1917 include reports on activities and progress at the
homes; four items--including two in Braille--were written by Lillian Butler (born
ca. 1903), a resident of the Dyker Heights home. Includes minutes of the International
Sunshine Society’s annual conventions for 1926–1928.
