Projects

  • Disability History and Culture Collective: The Disability History and Culture Collective is a new and still forming intersectional alliance of disability historians and advocates working to establish an accessible public network and database of existing and new disability history resources, to find and preserve collections, to promote research, and to ultimately establish a central bricks and mortar museum with local affiliates as part of the Smithsonian. You can join the collective’s Google group list and subscribe to the monthly Disability History & Culture Collective e-newsletter (see past issues of the newsletter).
  • Sonoma Developmental Center Museum: led by the Glen Ellen Historical Society to preserve the history of the former Sonoma State Hospital, an institution for people with developmental disabilities, and present the history of people with disabilities in California and the United States.
  • Living History Project: conducted workshops in disability history for independent living centers in California. Funded by the San Francisco Foundation.
  • Queer Disability Conference: This was the first international gathering of disabled queers. The gathering was at San Francisco State University, San Francisco, California, USA from June 1-June 4, 2002.
