The McBurney Disability Resource Center was established by University of Wisconsin Madison faculty member James Graaskamp, Dean of Students Paul Ginsberg, and Assistant Dean Blair Mathews in 1977 to provide effective accommodations to disabled students and to works towards an inclusive campus environment. The McBurney Disability Resource Center records provide an overview of the internal and external activities of the center from its inception in 1977 until 2006. The types of materials include reports, publications, accessibility maps, meeting minutes, correspondence, photographs, programs, conference proceedings, data, press releases, clippings, audio cassettes, and slides. McBurney Center staff and student volunteers provided services including proxy registration, disabled parking permits, textbook taping, alternative testing, library support, advocacy training, counseling, peer support groups, and more. The McBurney Center grew over the course of the 1990s, with a new emphasis on the growing population of students with learning disabilities, a narrower constituency of students, not faculty and staff, and new responsibility for services on the departmental level. The center continued to serve a diverse group of students throughout the 2000s, and expanded its accessible technology offerings, internship opportunities, and presentations across campus.
