Welcome to the website of
Irving Kenneth Zola
Fall 2003: New Poems about Irv by Mary Fillmore
Winter 2001: A Tribute to Irv by Stephen Gully
Spring 1999: Dear friends,
As many of you know, my late husband, Irving Kenneth Zola, was a prolific writer and
activist in the field of disability rights and medical sociology. I have created this website to enhance access to his many contributions.
The first writings posted are from Irv's collection of short stories, Meaningful
Relationships/Moments in Time.
Most of Irv's writings are available at The Samuel Gridley Howe Library in Waltham, MA. I've posted the library's summary of the Dr. Irving Kenneth Zola Collection. The library, which is also the repository for Gunnar & Rosemary Dybwad's Collections as well as past issues of Disability Studies Quarterly, is available for research into all aspects of disability. It has an extensive international collection of books from 1840 to the present, as well as over 1800 topic files with information dating back to the 1930s.
The Howe Library is located at 200 Trapelo Road in Waltham, MA, on the grounds of the Fernald School. To make an appointment to see the archived materials, call the librarian, Bonnie Stecher, at 781-894-3600, ext. 2244.
Thanks for your interest!
Sincerely,
Judy Norsigian (email: judy@bwhbc.org)
P.S. I have also posted a story on this site called One Last Hug. The story was written by Irv's and my daughter Kyra soon after Irv died.
