This collection of records pertaining to Rhodes University College Sports (1904-1951) is housed within the Rhodes University Archives, which is managed and curated by the Cory Library for Humanities Research at Rhodes University.
The material originated primarily from the administrative bodies responsible for organizing and regulating student athletics, namely the Rhodes University College Students' Representative Council (SRC) and, more specifically, the College Sports Union and its constituent clubs.
These records were created and maintained in the ordinary course of the Union's activities before being transferred to the central University Archives under the Cory Library's mandate to preserve the institution's historical memory. The Cory Library serves as the official custodian, ensuring the permanent preservation, arrangement, and provision of access to this vital resource for research into student life and sporting history.
