Fort Vancouver Tactile Maps

Fort Vancouver- Vancouver, Washington
These maps were made for the Mobility Matters 2021 virtual conference.

These maps will be used for a remote virtual-tour of the buildings at Fort Vancouver, a historical site in Vancouver, Washington. The tour will be led by teachers from the Washington State School for the Blind, with students attending from across the USA.

The 4 maps include tactile representations of the important features in each room. The tactile symbols are designed to be easily located and distinguished by blind learners.

Mobility Matters is hosted by Portland State University's Orientation & Mobility (O&M) and Visually Impaired Learning (VIL) Programs, supported by the American Printing House for the Blind, the National Park Service, and the Portland State University Digital City Testbed Center.
