AFB is a nonprofit organization founded in 1921, recognized as Helen Keller’s cause in the United States. Besides offering a number of educational pamphlets, videos, and other information, this site has two very interesting sections: a mentor database and the Helen Keller archives. The Careers & Technology Information Bank (CTIB) is a network of blind people from all 50 states and Canada who use assistive technology at home, at work, or at school, and are able and willing to serve as mentors to others. Helen Keller’s writings are not all available online, but you can read some of them, and there are photographs available.
