Published: 11 April 2011

The University of Texas at Austin will collaborate with Ï㽶ÊÓƵ to process and digitize the Richard W. Pound Olympic Collection, a large and varied archive of material related to the International Olympic Movement. Collected by former McGill Chancellor Richard Pound, who swam for the Canadian Olympic team in the 1960 summer games in Rome and has served on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) since 1978, some 400,000 pages of documents are being catalogued and digitized by the University of Texas Libraries with the understanding that portions of the collection will be available for research by the university and others in the future.
