Disability Pride

The Disability History Association (DHA) is an international non-profit organization that promotes the study of disabilities throughout history. This includes, but is not limited to, the history of individuals or groups with disabilities, perspectives on disability, representations/ constructions of disability, policy and practice history, teaching, theory, and Disability and related social and civil rights movements.
We define both history and disability widely. This organization is both inclusive and international, reflected in our diverse topics and approaches. Membership is open to scholars, institutions and organizations, and others working in all geographic regions and all time periods.

The Disability Visibility Project is an online community dedicated to creating, sharing, and amplifying disability media and culture.

The Disability Social History Project is a community history project and we welcome your participation. This is an opportunity for disabled people to reclaim disability history and determine how to define ourselves and our struggles. People with disabilities have an exciting and rich history that should be shared with the world. (See: Why Study Disability History?)

Disability and Art, from Tate in the UK, explores how artists have portrayed the range of human ability through their art. 

Disability Studies Quarterly is the journal of the Society for Disability Studies (SDS). It is a multidisciplinary and international journal of interest to social scientists, scholars in the humanities, disability rights advocates, creative writers, and others concerned with the issues of people with disabilities. It represents the full range of methods, epistemologies, perspectives, and content that the multidisciplinary field of disability studies embraces. DSQ is committed to developing theoretical and practical knowledge about disability and to promoting the full and equal participation of persons with disabilities in society.

WordGathering: A Journal of Disability Poetry and Literature is a digital, Open Access, biannual journal of disability poetry, literature, and the arts, with two interconnected purposes. First, we are dedicated to providing an accessible venue for featuring the work of emerging and well-known writers and other creatives with disabilities (disabled writers and creatives). Second, we seek to make available and expand a searchable core of this work for interested readers (with and without disabilities) who are committed to disability poetry, literature, and the arts across a variety of media.
