HEY!
Helen Keller is arguably the most famous disabled person in history. Her extraordinary achievements despite losing both sight and hearing at the age of just 19 months have been the subject of numerous films and books. However, not everyone was convinced these achievements were genuine.
One such sceptic was Dr Martin W Barr, director of the School for the Feeble Minded in Elwyn, Pennsylvania, who in 1896 tried to verify what he had read in the press about the then sixteen year old Helen Keller. Replies he received from Perkins Institution and Massachusetts School for the Blind, Pennsylvania Institution for the Instruction of the Blind, and the Cambridge School for Young Ladies are now available to read in the Wellcome Library as MS.8927.
All of the institutions he wrote to had previously been involved in teaching Helen Keller. The Perkins Institute in particular had played a key role. In 1886, the Keller family had contacted the director of the Institute, Michael Anagnos, on the advice of Alexander Graham Bell. At this point, six year old Helen had created more than sixty signs which enabled her to communicate with her family in a very limited way. However, she was unable to communicate with anyone outside her family apart from Martha Washington, the young daughter of the family cook.
