Olympic Studies Center Archive

The anchoring of sport as an important element of culture in our global society has been and will continue to be established by historical research, documentation and through applied projects of sport museums. A central tenet for these kinds of activities is the accessibility of historical documents. As part of the Carl and Liselott Diem Archive (CuLDA, the forerunner of the OSC at the German Sport University Cologne), archival collections on almost all iterations of the Olympic Summer and Winter Games, prominent national and international Olympic officials, the Olympic torch relay, the founding of the International Olympic Academy and various Olympic sports, have been catalogued.
