Hey all! I'm part of a cultural organization that has over 400.000 pictures of a specific town/region of southern Chile ranging from the years 1875 to 2005. Our work is focused on making this collection accessible to the community through public exhibitions where people can see the photos along with a description of what is happening in the photo.

Now, we want to make this info available to the blind or visually impaired members of the community, and we are trying to figure out the easiest and best way to accomplish this. We want them to be able to see the photo with their hands and ears, and understand what it is they are touching/hearing.

We have a 3D Printer available for doing these models.

What would be the best way to accomplish this doing a 3D model? Should we focus more on the Audio Description part rather than the 3D part? Is there any literature you guys could recommend us to make this happen?

​

Thank you so much in advance and I hope this wasn't that hard to understand as English is not my mother tongue.

Edit: I forgot to say that I am open to answer any questions you might have about this!
