English
This collection consists of over seventy separate accessions and approximately 700 linear feet of material; the collection is continually expanding in size and coverage. It includes bound ledgers documenting the accomplishments of several of the university's athletic teams, a signature book from the 1952 Sugar Bowl, film, audio and videotapes, scrapbooks, baseball rule books dating to the 1870s (Acc. 94-90), and scorecards. Only a small portion has been processed. The unprocessed portion includes scrapbooks, film, video and audiotapes, primarily of football, men's and women's basketball, and lacrosse games, practices, and scrimmages, dating from 1947 to the 2010s.
This collection was transferred to the University of Maryland Libraries from the University of Maryland Athletics Department in over 70 accessions between the years 1972-2020.
This collection has been minimally processed by several archivists over many years. Due to the volume of records, additional information will be added as time and resources allow.
