The History of Disabilities and Social Problems

http://codi.buffalo.edu/graph_based/.bibliography/woodhill/woodhill.html

The history of disabilities and social problems is a bibliography of printed resources which was originally compiled in 1987-88. The bibliography has been divided into categories which assists with the location of material (Abuse, art, literature and photography, asylums, blind, charity, crime, deaf, dwarfism, general insanity, learning disabilities, medicine, mental retardation, physical, poverty, prisons, psychiatry, religion, sickness, social science, social work, special education and speech). Material included in the bibliography is in either English or French, and dates from the 19th and 20th centuries. The web site includes an introduction which explains why the bibliography was created and the sources which were used for its compilation. Although, ideally, the bibliography could include more material published in the last 10 years it does provide a useful starting point for locating printed resources in this area.
