Penn State University Sports Archives


1919 Basketball Team

In 1990, Penn State University Archives, a unit of the University Libraries' Special Collections Library, began a concentrated effort to locate historical materials that would document the growth of athletic policies and the achievement of our teams. The goal is to establish a Penn State Sports Archive that is unrivaled in scope and that serves both scholars and administrators.

 


1956 Golf Team
To date, the Sports Archives includes more than 4000 football films and videotapes, beginning with the 1929 film of the University of Pennsylvania and Penn State. The collection also includes football footage of the 1948 Cotton Bowl, highlight films dating back to 1952, footage of scrimmages, and films of practice sessions, Blue-White games, and almost every regularly scheduled game since 1957. The videotape collection includes footage of selected basketball, volleyball, soccer, wrestling, ice hockey and gymnastic events since 1950. Complete game-by-game, reel-by-reel inventories have been compiled for all the audio-visual materials. For a listing of the sports audio-visual materials held by the University Archives, go to Sports Audio Visual Collection or Football Audio Visual Collection.
