Disability and the Archives
Join us online for Disability and the Archives: Access, Absences and Action, a two-day virtual conference hosted by Shakespeare’s Globe from 23–24 January 2026.
This interdisciplinary event will examine how disabled lives have been recorded, obscured, or erased across literary, performance, and institutional records. The programme includes talks, panels, and time for shared reflection, with a focus on inclusive and ethical approaches to archival practice.
The complete programme schedule, including confirmed speakers and session topics, will be available online prior to the conference.

SUPPORT RESEARCH AND COLLECTIONS
We are building a new Research & Collections Centre including London’s first dedicated Shakespeare Library, free and open-to-all. The centre will offer unparalleled activities and experiences redefining how students, researchers, artists, and the public engage with Shakespeare and performance-based research.
We need your support to help us complete this build, and open up Research & Collections at Shakespeare’s Globe. With your help, we can empower future scholars, deepening understanding of performance, and preserving voices from every corner of Shakespeare’s world.
