College Baseball Programs / Scorecards

Note: This page is a finding aid to the 19th and early 20th century college baseball game programs and scorecards located in the Joyce Sports Research Collection in the Department of Special Collections, University Libraries of Notre Dame. Programs are arranged alphabetically by issuing (home) school, and thereunder by date. Schools are alphabetized by their familiar, shorthand names; full (current) names and locations follow in parenthesis.

Some programs in this finding aid may be indicated as either "scored" or "partially scored." "Scored" programs must meet two criteria. First, they must be scored completely, with an entry for each batter that appeared in the game. Second, they must employ a notation specific enough to allow for a reasonably thorough recreation of the game's play-by-play. A key point in this regard is the attribution of putouts and assists; no program utilizing a notation with generic out markings is considered scored. Programs indicated as "partially scored" have been scored either incompletely or in a notation that leaves obvious questions regarding the game's play-by-play. Thus, "partially scored" programs may have only the lineups entered, or they may be scored completely but ambiguously. Other features that may characterize individual programs - autographs, for example, or ephemera like ticket stubs - are present as noted. All materials may be consulted in the Department of Special Collections, 102 Hesburgh Library.
