The Olympic Games are among the most highly anticipated world events. Athletic excellence combines with cross-cultural interaction in the interest of promoting peace, unity, and international good will. In celebration of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, we invite you to explore the ways in which competition and community have shaped past Games. This exhibit features reproductions and artifacts from Swem Library’s Special Collections Research Center.

 

Images of the exhibit are available from Special Collections on Flickr.
