Hi Richard,
Here's a web site that I found. I don't know how good it is. You might want
to take a look. I would not trust my judgment. I am fairly fresh from the
Hadley courses and may miss any errors. It is a web site of chess problems.

Question
Hi Jim,
If you get any of those problems translated, be sure to post them.
I am very bad at Braille, so I am no help. I do know descriptive notation
though so I can help there.
