De blindas bokfond
A Historical Art Overview is a book project consisting of braille text and tactile pictures, produced to give blind people a possibility to experience art over the centuries. It describes prominent traits within genres like art, design and architecture.
The volumes are compiled of a text part and files with tactile pictures, with significant features from each period. There is also written descriptions of the pictures.
The texts are written by Camilla Hjelm and Tomas Björk. The tactile pictures are produced by Annica Norberg and the volumes are edited by Professor Yvonne Eriksson.
A Historical Art Overview is an initiative by the foundation Stiftelsen De Blindas Bokfond. The foundation, which for 100 years has produced literature in braille, has also funded the project.
So far two volumes have been produced. A third volume is currently being planned.
