XV Olympic Winter Games, Olympic Photograph Collection fonds

  • CA ccg ccg-2081
  • Collection
  • 1977-1988, predominant 1981-1988

The fonds consists of approximately 40,000 photo images (prints, transparencies and negatives) created or commissioned by the Communications Group, one of the six Groups which made up OCO. Most of them are from the Information Services Division. Some, mostly duplicates of those from Information Services, are from Products and Advertising and from Community Relations. All of this material is in English. Most of the images are in colour, the transparencies are 35mm and enclosed in slide cases, and photo prints are 8 x 10" or smaller. Some of what are referred to as negatives are in fact internegatives made from transparencies. This material is in very good physical condition. These photo images were commissioned and created for the purposes of publicizing the 1988 Olympic Winter Games before they occurred, of educating people about the Games, and of documenting preparation for the Games and the Games themselves. OCO'88 used them as research material and as a record of its activities.

  • 1977-1988, predominant 1981-1988

The fonds consists of 22 series, each of which is introduced by an "Administrative History" section and a "Scope and Content" note. Lengthier narratives have been added at the series level rather than in the "Administrative History" of the Operations Group which precedes this note. In some cases, added "Notes" complete each Series Description.

OCO'88

XV Olympic Winter Games, Sports Group fonds

  • CA ccg ccg-2066
  • Fonds
  • 1977-1988, predominant 1981-1988

The records of the Sports Group are predominantly textual (nearly 17 meters) but are also made up of a number of photographic images and oversize documents within the series. Photographic images have either been placed in acid-free enclosures or, in the case of slides, placed into appropriate "sleeves" and then into a binder for storage. The oversize material consists of a number of maps, plans and schedules as well as material used for presentations. These have been removed from original file folders and placed either into oversize Hollinger storage boxes or into map folders and then into a map cabinet. Graphics, sound cassettes and some computer diskettes are also part of the records of this Group. As in many of the series in the OCO'88 records, a number of documents in telefax form were found in the Sports Group. Because of the rapid deterioration of these records, they have been photocopied for preservation. In the most severe cases--where the fading of the document was so extreme as to make photocopying impossible--the "faxed" documents have been transcribed. A number of boxes of OCO records intended for the City of Calgary Archives were mistakenly set to Kestrel Data Inc., the company responsible for the storage of OCO's financial records. This material was transferred to the Archives in 1991 August. All of the accrued material from the Sports Group was from the records of Brian Murphy, the first Vice President of the Sports Group (Series V). The records of the Sports Group consists of six series (listed below) and descriptions at the series level in the published inventories are sometimes quite detailed. Three of the series (II, IV and V) are the result of the work of more than one records creator. The records in Series IV came from the offices of Brian Murphy and Bruce Wasylik, and those in Series V are clearly identified as being the result of the work of several Sports Coordinators; however, the origin of the materials in Series II is less certain.
