Launched in 2025, the Disability Arts History Australia digital archive documents the transformative impact of artists, arts organisations and allies working in Disability Arts / Arts & Disability from the 1970s to the 2020s.
It’s an important resource for creatives with disability and anyone else working in the sector, engaging in co-design or looking for case studies and leading practice.
Users can learn about leaders and innovations, search more than 10,800 people, organisations and works, and create tailored reports, training resources and events to support inclusion across the sector.
