Verlagsinformation :: Publisher's information

History of Disabilities demonstrates how society has presented and treated individuals with disabilities historically. Materials in the inaugural collection in this series include records of treatments, methods of education, forms of remediation, and more. Reports and proceedings of organizations and institutions that sought to help or heal those with disabilities are included, as well as records of policies and programs. Through this collection, researchers will grasp the many forms of institutional discrimination, political exclusion, and social control under which those who were identified as disabled struggled.

The collection chronicles how individuals were classified and treated—and how some overcame physical or mental challenges to defy perceptions of being disabled.

Value of the Archive

• Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI):
  The archive provides a comprehensive and authoritative compendium on disabilities studies, mainly from a social perspective, which is emerging as the next academic frontier for those focused on EDI initiatives.
• Comprehensive Coverage:
  The collection conveys firsthand how attitudes toward those with disabilities have changed over time, from the beginnings of clinical inquiry into disabilities in the late 1600s through to the emergence of modern therapies in the 1900s.
• Inherently Intersectional:
  Accounts of disability history by those who lived and witnessed it make the archive an ideal starting point to analyze gender, sexuality, race, and class.
• Stands Alone and Complements Existing Archives:
  With a broad and deep collection of primary sources, this archive helps fill a gap in disability history content, giving researchers a more comprehensive look at disabilities in society.
