[AMP-L] Amputee Resources in the Library of Congress

[Wayne Renardson]

via Amplitude:

As promised in our November print edition ("America´s Amputee 
Attic"), we present here some of the treasures we found in the 
Library of Congress that reflect the history of limb loss in the 
United States.  

We found many of them by searching the LOC catalog on a variety of 
terms, including "amputee," "prosthetic," "prosthesis," "disabled 
veteran," "disability," and "limb." We also had some luck by using 
the "find related items" feature, once we´d located an individual 
catalog record pertaining to limb loss.  

There are hundreds of additional images in the LOC´s collections. To 
start exploring, visit their website at loc.gov.
