The William Bronston papers, 1961-2008, reflect Bronston's active role in the movements for human and disability rights, most notably exposing violations of treatment and care at Willowbrook State School in Staten Island, New York (1970s) and advocacy for Sandra Jensen's equal rights as a person with disabilities to receive an organ transplant (1994-1997). The majority of the collection relates to Bronston's professional activities starting as a founder of the Student Health Organization (SHO) while attending medical school at the University of Southern California, his participation in numerous events in support of disability rights, and his creation of projects to provide youth leadership programs such as Project Interdependence and The Tower of Youth. There are also records of Bronston's employment with the California State Departments of Health (DOH), Developmental Services (DDS), and Rehabilitation (DOR). The collection consists of correspondence, organization records, speeches, writings, testimonies, legal documents, biographical information, publicity materials, personal papers, photographs, posters, and audio/visual materials.
