Disability Arts History Australia is a landmark digital resource documenting five decades of creativity, advocacy and cultural change led by d/Deaf, Disabled and Neurodivergent artists, organisations and allies. 

Created in collaboration with more than 100 artists, arts workers and allies, the archive is both a record of history and a practical tool for the future. Users can browse five decades of Disability Arts, 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. 

The archive was created through a major research collaboration funded by the Australian Research Council, with support from Creative Australia, Queensland University of Technology’s Centre for Justice, and Curtin University’s Centre for Technology and Culture, alongside Arts Access Victoria and the University of Melbourne.
