Technical Leaflet 290: 3-D Technologies for Exhibits and Programming is an AASLH Technical Leaflet. AASLH Technical Leaflets are brief, practical guides on how to do history. 

This leaflet explains how to use 3-D printing technology to create accurate replicas and more dynamic exhibits and programs for audiences with a variety of abilities. 3-D technologies allow us to augment hands-on learning at our sites by creating touchable replicas of artifacts for display and handling that allow more visitors to experience the past in a tactile way and save wear and tear on authentic items.

Katie Stringer Clary, Ph.D., teaches history and public history at Coastal Carolina University in Conway, South Carolina. Her accessibility work includes her 2014 book for AASLH, Programs for People with Special Needs: A Guide for Museums and Historic Sites.
