<p>Hi everybody,</p>
<p> Thanks for sharing Val, I can tell a lot of work went into to
those dictionaries. Did the signs survive the transition into
SignPuddle? <br>

<div>Hello SignWriting List members!<br>
</div>
<div>I have been going over multiple scans of old
documents that go back 20 or 30 years, some of them 50
years! Yes, I have to admit, I am getting old (smile). I
am so fortunate to have worked with such wonderful
skilled writers over so many years and I thank all of
you for your contributions.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I see my job now, as a retired 72-year-old, to make
sure that all of the old documents are scanned and
posted on the internet for history. I hope they will
inspire future generations to write your sign languages,
and gestures and mime, and to bring the concept of
writing body movement, dance, and sign languages to the
world.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>We are indeed fortunate to have the internet! I will
be building several Internet Archive areas, with the
help of many of you, and posting these old documents,
for anyone to freely download and use.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For right now, I am going over scanned dictionaries
from the 1980's - early 2000s, with the development of
SignWriter Apple//e and Apple//c and SignWriter DOS,
developed by Richard Gleaves, and then later we had a
SignBank Database, developed by Todd Duell, before I
met Steve Slevinski and we began to work on SignPuddle.
So in the early days there were quite a number of
dictionaries, but they were mostly printed on paper on
laser printers. This was before there were many PDFs.
Most everything was printed on white paper on a laser
printer...But some of those dictionaries now have to be
scanned from the white laser printing into PDFs. A big
but important job.<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>So I am doing my best to inform you of these
documents, one by one, as I post them on <a
rel="noopener noreferrer"
href="http://SignWriting.org" moz-do-not-send="true">SignWriting.org</a>/dictionaries.
Most of them are ASL, but some are from Mexico and
Brazil and Spain. It is going to take me time. And then,
when I have a good listing posted, Rich is going to help
me post them on the Internet Archive too - so this is a
fun project!<br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Here is the one I posted today - From the SignBank
Database:<br>
