Intramural sports and recreation at Duke began in 1902 under Coach Wilbur "Cap" Card. From 1926-1929, men's and women's physical education grew as separate entities. By 1960, the department had evolved away from strenuous exercise in preparation for war and moved towards supervised group fitness and the continued growth of intramural sports. Men's and women's departments merged in 1975 to create the Department of Health, Physical Education, and Recreation. The department was made a non-academic unit in 1980 and was later restructured to become part of the Office of Student Affairs. The Duke Intramural Sports Scrapbook was collected by Recreation and Physical Education and contains clippings and photographs of various male intramural sports events, including the Big Four event that Duke participated in along with North Carolina State University, University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, and Wake Forest University.

The scrapbook was disbounded and the pages separated into folders. Pages 1-23 cover the years 1968-1971, and pages 24-39 cover the years 1964-1968. The folders contain clippings and photographs of some of the intramural sports teams, including teams from the law school, medical school, fraternities, selective living groups, and freshman houses. The clippings cover various Duke events and the "Big Four Day," in which Duke would compete against University of North Carolina, North Carolina State University, and Wake Forest University.

This collection consists of original and copy negatives taken by various sources over several decades. Most of the negatives were produced by the Office of News and Communication's News Bureau in the early years of Duke University and later by University Photography (upon its establishment).

Contains negatives and some matching prints of University-related subjects, including people (i.e. faculty, trustees, students, etc.), buildings, construction, schools and departments. While dates range from 1855-1995, it is necessary to note that the majority of the negatives are copy negatives, rather than originals. While a good number of original negatives are included in this collection, the user should be aware that some of the corresponding dates refer to when the copy negative was made, not when the original picture was taken. In most cases, it is noted on the negative sleeve if the negative is a copy or an original. Furthermore, users should be aware that some negatives are of published material. For instance, several pages from the Chanticleer and the Chronicle were photographed and the negatives were kept. On some of the sleeves, users will find notes presumably made by the photographer regarding print quality.

An attempt was made to bring a cohesiveness to the negative collection for easier patron and staff access. The negatives are arranged in the following series: Subject Negatives, General Negatives, Building Negatives, Construction Negatives, Faculty Negatives, Medical Center Negatives, and Numbered Negatives. The Numbered Negatives are copy negatives pulled from the larger University Archives Photograph Collection. Any future additions to the negative collection will follow the numbering format.
