Disability History Month 2023

University of Bedfordshire libraries in junction with the Staff Disability Network are raising awareness of disability history in the UK.

We have a selection of books on the history as well as a collection of books that have been written by authors who have a disability.

The Staff Disability Network have kindly donated new books to the library to celebrate some of the authors:
















A reading list with more books can be found here:

The display at Luton shows a timeline to the history of disability from 1050 to the present day.  The full article can be found at Historic England:

We also have a display at our Bedford campus with the books purchased by the Staff Disability Network:
