Collections


Over the years, I have amassed a large collection of figure skating books, magazines, newspaper clippings, photographs and other materials. The majority of this memorabilia is not digitized, but it still may prove very useful to you. 

Are you are looking for more information about a skater in your family tree? Do you have a question about a topic that hasn't (yet) been covered on the blog? Are you a student looking for materials for an essay or thesis? A teacher or professor looking for materials for a classroom activity? Carefully review the Finding Aids below and reach out if there are items that are of interest. 

BOOKS

About thirty percent of the books listed are in digital format, the other seventy being in hard or soft cover format. Books are listed in alphabetical order with author(s) in brackets. A huge thank you to Ken Shelley, Dr. Roman Seeliger, Elaine Hooper, Jenny Hall Engleka, Phillipa Cranston, Mary Louise Smith, Elee Kraljii Gardiner and many others who have contributed to this library.

ORAL HISTORY

Sadly, audio recordings of over fifty interviews - including two with Dick Button - were lost in 2015 due to a technical issue. The following are recorded interviews in digital format for various Skate Guard blogs. In many cases, we veered off topic so there may be other material that was unused.

DIGITAL COLLECTIONS

As of 2023, there are over twenty-five thousand files in my digital folders - photographs, articles, press clippings, etc. Folders are organized by country or topic with subfolders on various skaters, etc. International competitions are given their own folders in the main directory, while other competitions (ie. Canadian and U.S. Championships) have their own subdirectory in their country's folder. An FYI - a folder on a skater might have two files in it - or two hundred. Please note that a great number of these files are unlabeled, so if you're hoping to use any of them for academic purposes, the homework of finding the source/citation would be on you.
