The 1948 Summer Olympics (officially the Games of the XIV Olympiad and also known as London 1948) were an international multi-sport event held from 29 July to 14 August 1948 in London, United Kingdom. Following a twelve-year hiatus caused by the outbreak of World War II, these were the first Summer Olympics held since the 1936 Games in Berlin. The 1940 Olympic Games had been scheduled for Tokyo and then for Helsinki, while the 1944 Olympic Games had been provisionally planned for London. This was the second time London hosted the Olympic Games, having previously hosted them in 1908, forty years earlier. The Olympics would return again to London 64 years later in 2012, making London the first city to host the games three times, and the only such city until Paris and Los Angeles host their third games in 2024 and 2028, respectively. The 1948 Olympic Games were also the first of two summer Games held under the IOC presidency of Sigfrid Edström.

1908 Summer Olympics; the Games of the IV Olympiad were the fourth modern Olympic Games and the third to be hosted outside of Athens, Greece. The International Olympic Committee considers them the fourth Olympic Games, discounting the intercalated 1906 Summer Olympics. The 1908 Olympic Games were scheduled to take place in Rome, but the eruption of Mount Vesuvius on 7 April 1906 required the Italian government to redirect funds away from the Olympics. The events took place between 27 April 1908 and 31 October 1908, with 22 nations participating in 110 events. The British team easily topped the unofficial medal count, finishing with three times as many medals as the second-place United States.

Title:
Clarence S. "Hec" Edmundson scrapbooks, 1904-1955.
The Clarence S. "Hec" Edmundson scrapbooks is an intentionally assembled collection of volumes documenting his career as athlete and coach. The first volume contains clippings of articles related to Edmundson's athletic career through to his coaching years, mainly at the University of Idaho, Texas A & M, and the University of Washington, through 1930. A second volume is comprised of clippings, mostly loose. The few articles that are affixed are dated mainly between 1952 and 1955, during Edmundson's last years coaching. Among the many loose items are: two Pacific Coast Olympic Basketball Trials programs from 1936; a large-format photograph of the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games in Los Angeles; a certificate of achievement from the Ale and Quail Club; and a photograph from 1913 of a University of Idaho javelin thrower. Volume 3 covers track meets and other University of Idaho events during Edmundson's undergraduate years. The earliest article is dated November 1904 and is about his performance on the debate team. Other clippings chronicle Edmundson's bid for the 1908 Olympic Games in London, England. A fourth volume includes clippings and ephemera relating to Edmundson and the University of Washington track and basketball teams that he coached for nearly three decades. Articles are dated mostly from the 1930s; however, there are loose clippings of articles tucked into this volume that are dated as late as 1943. Also included is a brochure in Swedish (presumably from the 1912 Olympic Games in Stockholm, Sweden) and a ticket to the 1932 Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California, which Edmundson attended as a spectator. The Spiked Shoe Club volume covers activities of this track and field group coached by Edmundson. Charter members of the club are indicated in the opening pages of the scrapbook, beginning with the formation of the club in 1927. Also included are signatures from members of the club through 1931; material is selectively indexed. A sixth scrapbook volume was compiled by Jack Coplen and Harry Galloway to document the 1938-1939 University of Washington basketball team season. The final volume is a guest ledger for the 1948 testimonial dinner for Edmundson held at the Edmond Meany Hotel on February 5, 1948. Autographs are from former University of Washington basketball athletes who had trained under Edmundson between 1921 and 1947. This volume is also selectively indexed and includes the signatures of such noteworthy guests as Royal Brougham, sports editor of the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
