The 11th UK Disability History Month runs from 18th November to 18th December.
The campaign this year is focussing on access, and considers how much progress has been made, and how much still needs to happen.
Equality of access to the physical and information environment is something disabled people and their allies have campaigned to achieve and is recognised as a fundamental human right.
Universal accessibility ensures participation, regardless of impairment.
The university and the library continuously strive to use physical, sensory and technical resources to improve universal accessibility.
You can find information about measures in place to make library services accessible to all on the Inclusive Library Services page.
We have also created a reading list which highlights resources related to Disability in our libraries. These includes memoirs and autobiographies, Disability Fiction and Disability History, journals and books about Disability Rights. If you have any suggestions of items in our collections that could be added to this list, please contact us at:
