Our Collection: The Rochester Advocate
Early Volumes of The Rochester Advocate Now Available Online!
The Little Paper Family is a group of newspapers and magazines published by various residential schools for deaf students. Groups of predominately all deaf school staff and students, and in many cases all deaf writer and editors, were responsible for creating, printing, and distributing these literary works. Visit the Gallaudet University Library for more information.
The Rochester Advocate (originally named the Daily Paper for Our Little People) is the version of the Little Paper Family published and printed by the Rochester School for the Deaf. It chronicles daily life at the school and provides unique commentaries on local and world events of the day.
