Shared photos are exactly what they sound like: photos shared with us by people like you! Whether it's a snapshot of life's biggest moments or just a selfie you really like, we love to get photos capturing what life with a disability is like today.

About Us
The Southeastern Disability Archive is an online museum run by people with disabilities. We collect interviews, photos, and other materials related to disability from people and organizations in the south. Our goal is to uplift the voices of disabled southerners, preserve our stories and accomplishments for future generations, and to educate our communities about the rich history and culture of disability in the south.
