Earlier this year, the Deaf History Collections website was launched. To celebrate Auslan Day this Saturday 13th April, we asked the launch attendees, “why Deaf history is important to them.” It was beautiful to see the role that Auslan as a language plays in the Deaf community and its significance. Watch on to see their responses. Have you seen the Deaf History Collections website? To celebrate Auslan Day, go and check it out: https://www.deafhistorycollections.com.au/ | Deaf Connect

Auslan Day celebrates the rich history, culture, community and language of the Australian Deaf community by honouring the date of first publication of the Auslan dictionary. Watch to see our Deaf staff and students sign a message to celebrate Auslan Day on 13 April. | Queensland Department of Education
