A Google News Alert has tipped me off about an incredible collection at the University of Kentucky Archives. The Big Blue Sports Archives has 4,000 videotapes, 1,500 audiotapes, 1,500 films, 10,000 photographs, 30 scrapbooks, and 150 boxes of clippings, programmes, and media guides related to the university's sporting body, University of Kentucky Athletics and to its teams, known as the Wildcats.
According to the media release, major plans are afoot to provide electronic access to the collection. The project is dependent on funding, so several fundraising initiatives are in place.
I will visit the Big Blue Sports Archives site regularly to watch it develop.
