Biographical Sketch
The Sports Information Office traces its origins to the Sports News Office in the early 1950s, and evolved to the present designation in the late 1960s. Sports Information serves in a public relations capacity as a liaison between the media and the athletic department. The Office maintains media records on all Tech athletes, as well as compiles and designs media guides and game programs.
Scope and Contents
The collection contains news releases, a Horizon Campaign pamphlet, the Public Infractions Report, schedule cards with pictures of various Tech athletics on the front side, three scrapbooks, and women's basketball statistics information.
The pictures were transferred to Photographs; the game programs to the Athletics (Game Programs) collection the media guides to Athletics (Media Guides) collection; the videos, cassettes and CDs to Audio/Visual; and the oversized volleyball poster to Oversized Athletics Posters Collection.
