The bulk of the records in the collection is from the tenure of Jim Norman, Director of Sports Information, 1973-1993. The records were integrated with an earlier collection of URI athletic materials given to Special Collections and processed in 1984. General materials include: correspondence; rosters; schedules; box scores; score books; media guides; game programs; statistics; press releases; player and coach profiles; and newsletters. Of particular interest are: photographs (1932-96) which include action, team and head shots, slides, negatives, proof sheets, and glass slides; a selection of game films (1934-89) converted to VHS from 16 mm. stock; material relating to the various URI athletic awards (1927-94) and the URI Hall of Fame (1972-88) including nomination forms and programs; minutes and financial statements of the Athletic Association (1902-12) and the Athletic Council (1937-41); material relating to the Fastbreak Club and the Ram Blue and White Club, athletic alumni and fund raising organizations; committee reports, minutes and papers of the Yankee Conference (1945-85), the regional conference in which URI athletic teams competed. The collection also includes records from sports and service organizations not organic to URI but with which Jim Norman was associated: the Providence Grid Iron Club; Words Unlimited; and the Rhode Island Heritage Hall of Fame.
