 The
Olympics: A Guide to Reference Sources
Library of Congress Resources: Official Reports
Currently, one responsibility of the organizing committee staging
the games is to issue an official report. This was not always the case, but
there are publications which have served this purpose and that are
recognized
as such by historians. Official reports have evolved to the point where there
are now separate volumes for the events and for the organization
of the games.
The Library's collection is large but incomplete. These reports are best retrieved
by a keyword search which includes the name of the city and the
year of the
games. Mallon's Olympic Bibliography (see the general
bibliography section of this guide) is the best source for identifying
the titles of these official reports. The library of the Amateur
Athletic Foundation of Los Angeles holds a complete set, and these
are available in full
text online (In PDF format). |
