What You'll Find in This Guide

The purpose of this guide is to bring together the resources relating to disability history held by many Chicago-area archival institutions.

Using the left-hand navigation, users will find resources by and about organizations, people with disabilities, and advocates, focused on the city of Chicago. These resources include archival collections, books, and online sources. Please note that while each archival collection will note the institution where it can be viewed, the books do not. Clicking on the title's WorldCat link will bring up a list of libraries in your area that have the book.
