Almost all of this series is made up of correspondence between Dr. Schowe and his father, Ben Schowe Sr. There is a great deal of discussion between the two Schowes on deaf education and the cultural and sociological aspects of deafness, and some discussion of personal and family matters is also included. Of particular interest is a manuscript copy of the elder Schowe’s unpublished book The Art of Being Deaf. Another of his books is included in series 7. Also included is some correspondence between Dr. Schowe and his mother and siblings, some of the elder Dr. Schowe’s family correspondence, and programs from the memorial services for Dr. Schowe’s parents.
