Scope and Contents

From the Series:

Records from the 7th through 19th World Games for the Deaf. Held by the Comité International des Sports des Sourds (CISS), these games, later known as the Deaflympics, are some of the most important events in the deaf sports world. Berg, as noted in the historical sketch, coached the United States track team at several World Games to great success.

The bulk of this series is program and result books for the various Games. In particular, it includes extensive correspondence, reports, and minutes related to the planning for the 10th International Games for the Deaf (1965), which were held mostly at Gallaudet University.

Also includes some CISS-related material not specifically connected to the World Games, such as issues of the CISS Bulletin newsletter, and some material on international sports competitions that were not part of the World Games. Box 26 includes a scrapbook of articles and other materials related to the 15th and 16th (1985, 1989) World Games.
