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.
