This collection contains the annual reports of the Sports Association.
On 8 December 1952 Council resolved that the NSW University of Technology Sports' Association would be the approved organisation to control and sponsor sport within the university. On 12 March 1953 a general meeting of students was held on the subject of the Sports Association, chaired by Professor Philip Baxter. At that meeting the formation of the Sports Association was approved and office bearers elected.
Following the change in name of the university on 7 October 1958, the name of the Association was changed to the University of New South Wales Sports Association.
After the introduction of Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU) by the Commonwealth Government from 1 July 2006, the Sports Association was wound up at the end of 2007 with its functions being transferred to the newly formed Sport and Recreation department.
