 | This football commemorating the 1909 Yale-Harvard game is one of the pieces that will be included in the Manuscripts and Archives collection. |
Yale's Department of Athletics and the University Library's Manuscripts and Archives collection announced that materials from the athletic archives will be transferred to the University Archives for preservation and research.
The materials document athletics at Yale from the mid-1800s up through the present day. Included are photographs and moving images of sporting events; files detailing how individual games were played; bound volumes of press releases; printed programs on each team as well as for specific events; celebratory banners; scrapbooks on teams; and files on all intercollegiate sports teams, student-athletes, buildings and traditions at Yale.
Shortly after the transfer of custody to Manuscripts and Archives, catalog records will be available internationally through the Yale University Library's on-line catalog Orbis.
This project follows in the footsteps of a similar joint project to catalog and preserve more than 5,000 reels of motion picture films of athletic events dating to 1923.
