Disability Social History Project
Excerpt: 

The Disability History Project is a community history project and we welcome your participation. This is an opportunity for disabled people to reclaim our history and determine how we want to define ourselves and our struggles. People with disabilities have an exciting and rich history that should be shared with the world. Please email us about anything that you would like to see become part of the Disability Social History Project, including your disabled heroes, important events in disability history, and resources.

Annotation: 

The Disability Social History Project has recorded a number of biographies of famous people with disabilities and a timeline tracing developments in social views of disabilities. The biographies contain a number of off-site links for each entry. Bibliographies organized by topic and several exhibits are also provided, as are links to related sites and projects. Great educational tool.
