Current Projects

Picture
Ethical remembrance involves projects such as
1. Collection and digitization of institutional artifacts, records, reports, and documentation.
2. Collecting oral histories from residents, staff, and families.
3. Interpretive programming
4. Partnerships with disability-rights organizations.
"Too often, the stories of the people who lived and worked at state schools have been overshadowed by sensationalized myths or left to fade with the decay of its buildings. By researching, preserving documents and artifacts, recording oral histories, and maintaining buildings, the project gives voice to those who were silenced and tells the story of a community whose experiences helped shape the evolution of disability rights and public policy in the United States."
