Acknowledgements
Our research has been supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Institutes of Health. I have also received fellowships from the National Endowment for the Humanities to support research on Early ASL and sign languages of the world.
We would like to thank collaborators, former colleagues and students who have contributed to these projects. We would also like to thank Gallaudet University Library for granting permission for our use of the historical film materials as part of our database project, and especially the Gallaudet University Archives, Ulf Hedberg and Mike Olsen for their important assistance in locating historical materials and making them available to us.
