The Department of Athletics Records are arranged in 21 series. Series have been designated for individual sports, administration papers, and oversize material. The records chart the progress of the school's teams from the beginning of Carnegie Tech, through the football team's triumph over Notre Dame, past the de-emphasis of sports by President Doherty, and on to the present state of athletics at CMU. The documents include newspaper clippings, programs, schedules and rosters, brochures, miscellaneous memorabilia as well as administrative papers such as annual reports or meeting minutes. The collection also includes articles of clothing and memorabilia.
