This guide seeks to provide resources and selections regarding deafness and Deaf culture. Some of these entries may use the capital "D" Deaf or the lower-case "d" deaf, which are meaningfully different. The National Association of the Deaf quote Carol Padden and Tom Humphries (1988), "We use the lowercase deaf when referring to the audiological condition of not hearing, and the uppercase Deaf when referring to a particular group of deaf people who share a language – American Sign Language (ASL) – and a culture." As such, this guide attempts to follow this pattern, however some titles or navigation items may use capitalization while still referring to deafness rather than the Deaf community.
