The Silent Worker was a popular national newspaper among the deaf population of the United States during the end of the 1880's through the end of the first quarter of the 20th century. Originally known as the Deaf Mute Times, it was first published in February 1888 and renamed The Silent Worker on September 27 of the same year. The New Jersey School for the Deaf continued its publication monthly, except for July, August, and periodically September until it ceased in June 1929.
The Silent Worker was revived in 1948 by the National Association of the Deaf. It was later renamed The Deaf American. On this page, only the issues from the New Jersey publication of The Silent Worker are available. To view issues of the revived Silent Worker / Deaf American magazine on IDA@Gallaudet, look here.
