The BDA was founded in 1890, and has always been recognised as the only national Deaf People's Organisation. Our vision is "Deaf people fully participating and contributing as equal and valued citizens in the wider society". We want to ensure a world in which the language, culture, community, diversity and heritage of Deaf people in the UK is respected and fully protected, ensuring that Deaf people can participate and contribute as equal and valued citizens in the wider society.

Quote:
"The BDA Collection is an important one, with many of the films not held in other archives. The films and video tapes are well worth keeping for research into the history of the organisation; the events and happenings of the time; and as historical documents in their own right."
