The Intercollegiate Athletics collection is mostly comprised of game films, and most films are of UW football and men’s basketball games. There is a fairly complete run of football games dating from 1938 to 2004, with some films outside of these dates or undated. A fairly complete run of men’s basketball games dates from 1978-2003, with a few films existing outside these dates or undated. Game films of women's basketball are also included with a fairly complete run from 2003 to 2015. The collection also includes films documenting baseball, cross country, golf, skiing, hockey, rodeo, soccer, swimming/diving, tennis, track, and volleyball from the 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s. Wrestling is also represented and there is footage dating back to 1949. Additionally, it includes films of coaches’ shows, senior banquets, and season highlight tapes.

The collection also contains physical and electronic records about UW sports, such as several scrapbooks of newspaper clippings dating 1920-1948 about UW football and basketball games. A small portion of football and men’s basketball schedules, game brochures, women's basketball scorebooks, and narrator information sheets for games are in this collection. Some football films circa 1970 contain a narration sheet within the film canister. There are also audio cassette tapes of interviews with coaches and players and radio broadcasts of games. The collection also contains a commemorative bobble head.
