Created and maintained by Karen Nakamura, an assistant professor at Macalester College, this site is a compendium of links and reference materials "intended to educate and inform people about Deaf cultures in Japan and the United States." While there are numerous links on the site of interest, first-time visitors may want to start by looking at the general deaf bibliography and the Japanese deaf bibliography, both of which offer information of sign-language dictionaries and scholarly works regarding deaf culture and sign languages. The rest of the page contains lists of relevant links, such as those to religious services for the deaf, colleges and universities that place a premium on serving the deaf (or that teach sign language), and resources for deaf children.
