The Disability History Museum -- www.disabilitymuseum.org -- is pleased
to announce that a large number of images and documents from The Polio
Chroncile are now publicly available. The Polio Chronicle was published
by patients at Warm Springs, Georgia, from 1931-34, and the new
materials provide fascinating insights into the histories of accessible
architecture, assistive technology, the building of a disability
community, and the role Warm Springs played in the life of Franklin
Roosevelt.

The Disability History Museum was helped in this project by the NEC
Foundation of America and by the Roosevelt Warm Springs Institute for
Rehabilitation Archives.
