XV Olympic Winter Games, Team'88 Services Group fonds

  • CA ccg ccg-2083
  • Fonds
  • 1977-1988, predominant 1981-1988

The fonds consists of 15 series, each of which is introduced by an "Archival Description" section and a "Scope and Content" note. Lengthier narratives have been added at the series level, rather than in the "Administrative History" section of the Team'88 Services Group above. With the ever-changing structure of OCO'88, the relative late creation of the Team'88 Services Group and numerous staff changes in a relatively short time, more detailed descriptions at the series level should make for easier use of the records by researchers.

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.

XV Olympic Winter Games, Olympic Plans and Miscellaneous Oversize Records fonds

  • CA ccg ccg-2082
  • Fonds
  • 1977-1988, predominant 1981-1988

The fonds consists of 3,448 plans, 37 posters, five pieces of art (drawings and sketches), three maps, three oversize aerial photo negatives, and a number of miscellaneous oversize items. Because there is no administrative structure to follow for the organization of these records, they have been grouped into two artificial series, the first consisting of the oversize plans and maps, and the second made up of the posters, aerial photo negatives and other miscellaneous items which did not fit into the first series. The majority of plans have been placed into oversize map folders and map cabinets. A few plans have been placed into one oversize box and some miscellaneous oversize items have been placed onto shelves. Each series has a number of sub series. There are 15 sub series in Series I, arranged by venue. Sub series xiv is made up of plans which were originally bound or grouped together because of the nature of the facility or operation described in the plans rather than by the venue where the construction was taking place.

  • 1983-1988

The City of Calgary Archives originally received about 21 linear meters of Finance Group records. These included textual and graphic records as well as magnetic computer tapes. As noted in the "Administrative History," the records received were generally not actual financial records. The Archives received no records documenting financial transactions, only records which were originally maintained by the Administration and Treasury Divisions.
