To the best of my knowledge, none of the companies or organizations listed below have Web sites. All offer some information or materials of interest to bilingual families. Some of these company names and addresses were provided by a biling-fam list member from a book called Bringing Up Baby Bilingual, which was published in 1984. It is therefore possible that some of these companies have closed, moved, or changed. If you know for certain that the information provided below is out of date, please let me know as soon as possible.
