This is for sure a field were chapters and other local affiliates can make good use of partnerships with local associations of blind or sight-impaired people. For exampla, In the Archeowiki project by Wikimedia Italia (developed in the years 2012 - 2014) we did some outreach work with the Insituto dei ciechi di Milano (Institute of Blind People of Milan, one of the oldest charities/foundations in Italy, being founded in 1840). This comprised some lessons about prehistoric, extra-European archaeology done by groups of archaeologists and Wikipedia that were specifically trained. In these lessons there were a set of artefacts that could be touched and also some 3D printed reproduction.
