Athletics at Georgetown, 1798-1980

The University Archivist has assembled an exhibit of photographs, posters, programs, letters, and memorabilia from 190 years of Georgetown sports. This interesting exhibit was displayed in the Gunlocke Room in January and February and it was so popular that a similar exhibit will be on display during alumni weekend in June and again in August and September. Information about the exhibit can be obtained from the University Archivist.

Georgetown Sports Posters

The library is pleased to offer sets of fine reproductions of sports posters which advertised games with Princeton, Yale, Pennsylvania, and Virginia in 1901. The original posters were designed by John E. Sheridan (C'1901) who became a well-known artist. The reproductions are printed in full color on heavy paper in the original size, 15" x 23". Many alumni have purchased sets for decorating recreation rooms and offices. These attractive posters can be ordered by sending a check in the amount of $20.00 per set to the University Archives, Georgetown University Library.
