The Oregon State University Women's
Basketball and Field Hockey Scrapbooks consist of one basketball and three
field hockey scrapbooks documenting the women's teams during the
mid-1960s. The scrapbooks include photographs, clippings, and
ephemera.
Materials in English.
Historical Note:
These basketball and field hockey teams were under the jurisdiction of
the Women's Recreation Association (WRA). From the 1940s until 1973, the
WRA was responsible for coordination and administration of athletics for
women, both intramurals and intercollegiate. Oregon State had one of the
largest women's athletics programs in the northwest and, during the 1960s,
about a third of the women students were involved in WRA activities. In
addition to basketball and field hockey, women's sports included
volleyball, softball, tennis, golf, swimming, bowling, archery, track, and
gymnastics. Most of these were intramural teams; however, the Northwest
Field Hockey Association was formed in 1938 and Oregon State women
competed with field hockey teams from Oregon and Washington schools.
The Oregon State University Women's Basketball and Field Hockey
Scrapbooks document the women's basketball and field hockey teams for
several years in the mid-1960s. The scrapbooks include color and b/w
snapshot photographs, ephemera, and clippings documenting team members,
games, travel, and special events.
One of the scrapbooks is for the 1968 basketball team which played all
of its games in February.
Three of the scrapbooks are for the women's field hockey teams in 1964,
1966, and 1967. The 1966 team was known as the "Lady Tigers". The 1967
scrapbook includes 23 images as b/w contact prints. The hockey scrapbooks
include information about the Willamette Valley Collegiate Field Hockey
Association which selected an all-star team.
The creators of the scrapbooks are not identified.
Collection is open for research.
