Paralympics Australia has launched, this week, an online history of the Paralympic movement in Australia, Paralympic Stories (link).
The Australian Paralympic History Project aims to capture, manage, preserve and share the history of the Paralympic movement in Australia in ways that are relevant, accessible and place the Paralympic movement within a broader social context.
The launch of Paralympic Stories is the result of an extensive collaboration between Paralympics Australia and a range of partners, headed by the University of Queensland. Other key partners include the National Library of Australia, the National Film and Sound Archive, the Clearinghouse for Sport and the National Sports Museum.
The project has been coordinated by Tony Naar from its inception in 2010 to this week’s launch of the Stories.
