According to Sandy Novack, the Vice President of the DPC Board of Directors, not many people with disabilities show up in history books. DPC wants to change that by documenting as much as possible the lives of people with disabilities in Massachusetts so that future generations will have role models, not feel as isolated with their disabilities as many feel now, and learn how others have or have not handled life's challenges. People with disabilities and able-bodied people can get exposure to the variety of disabilities people can have, and all the ways that people with disabilities have lived that have not been documented.
