Repository Note

This project already uses the University of Minnesota Libraries, especially the Kautz Family YMCA Archives, as part of its research infrastructure. The archive's official collection description is especially valuable because it explicitly highlights international YMCA records, physical education and sports material, and China-related holdings.
