Our project, which takes form in a zine, seeks to answer the question: “How did perspectives on intellectually disabled people in America change between 1840-1930?”. Central to our project is a timeline tracking the legal, scientific, public health, and education developments towards people with intellectual disabilities. This timeline stands next to primary sources including pamphlets, photographs, letters, books, and research papers. Through displaying these historical pieces we hope readers gain an understanding of medical, legal, social, and scientific perspectives throughout our chosen period of history. This main portion of our project is complimented by “letters from the editors” and “letters to the editor” which bring in world history and disabilities studies perspectives.
