Visit the MRU Archives and Special Collections to interact with a display that explores the history of early Paralympic Games and celebrates the athletes who redefined sport on a global stage.

Drawn from the records of Robert Steadward, the first President of the International Paralympic Committee, this display will trace the Paralympic movement’s earliest challenges and showcase the athletes, triumphs, and innovations that propelled it forward.

As the 2026 Paralympics begin, this display seeks to inspire visitors with a story of past excellence, ongoing resilience, and the lasting impact of the Paralympic movement.
