LIBRARY AND MUSEUM
The Institute of the Deaf of Turin has always had a well-stocked specialized library on the subject of deafness, created in the first years of its foundation mainly as a service to the teaching staff of the schools of the Institute itself.
The library has always been kept up to date, as shown by some cataloging attempts carried out in the past; in this way the book collection has been gradually enriched with documents, including course notes, special textbooks, audiological treatises and any kind of publication on deafness.
In 1999, a first reorganization of the volumes and journals was carried out, also combining in a single room the books kept in different areas of the Institute.
During a first analysis of the preserved materials, the great richness and importance of the book collection became immediately evident, especially as far as the oldest part of the library is concerned.
The stored material mainly consists of:
- essays and manuals on pedagogy and deaf rehabilitation;
- periodicals and specialized newspapers, both extinct and still published, numbering more than one hundred periodicals;
- specific articles from non-specialized periodicals and newspapers;
- diploma and specialization papers on deafness;
- vocabularies of sign language, many of which are foreign;
- laws, regulations, and circulars on disabilities;
- various paper materials such as leaflets, course announcements, conferences, advertisements for hearing aids.
