THE INTERNATIONAL BRAILLE RESEARCH CENTER (IBRC)

# Welcome to the International Braille Research Center (IBRC) Resource Library!

The primary purpose of this web site is to provide a place where people can find a collection of scholarly papers related to braille. Since this site is just getting started, the number of papers here is fairly small. As we amass more documents, however, we'll be organizing them into topics and providing more sophisticated search tools to help you find what you need.
In the mean time, enjoy what's here.
