The article focuses on the efforts of Braille student Sierra Gregg in digitizing the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) historical documents as part of her internship at the Office of Presidential Libraries. It says that the National Archives has launched Gregg's webpage, which features the letters of Helen Keller to President Herbert Hoover and a thirteen-year old boy to President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Gregg says that the site has at least one record from each presidential administration.
