Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund, Inc., Berkeley Office records, 1971-2000.

The Disability Rights Education and Defense Fund Records document the activities and policies of one of the first organizations advocating for civil rights for people with disabilities. The bulk of these records date from the mid-1970s to the mid-1990s. The first few series pertain to the administrative functions of DREDF and its earlier incarnation, the Disability Law Resource Center of the Center for Independent Living. In the remaining series, the three major themes are litigation, education and legislative policy, all of which affect integration into the mainstream, civil and human rights and equality of opportunity for this sometimes "hidden minority."
