Item Information

Title:
Finding Aid: MS 513 - Alberto Regina Papers
Description:
Most of the materials found in this collection pertain to Alberto Regina’s professional career as a leader within the YMCA of Argentina. The majority of this collection is made up of newspaper clippings, including a scrapbook of special clippings (series 2c), and other printed materials. These materials are items that Regina collected whenever he found an article about himself, the YMCA he was a part of, as well as basketball and other Pan-American sports throughout South America. Most of the printed materials are written in Spanish. There are also three photo albums that were most likely put together by Alberto Regina himself. The albums capture pictures of the teams he was a coach for, colleagues and friends, as well as family photographs (series 2d). Correspondence between Alberto Regina and his friends and family can be found in series 2a. Included in this series are postcards from Alberto Regina and letters of condolence including a letter from Harold T. Friermood (the senior secretary for health and physical education) written to Regina’s family after his passing. The impact that Regina left on the YMCA of Argentina, as well as the world of sports in South America can be explored through series 2f. This series contains the various memorials and dedications made in honor of the life and work of Regina in South America. Included in series 3e are objects of which Regina collected pertaining to his position as a teacher, leader, and mentor within the YMCA. These pieces include merit awards, two Springfield College felt patches, and a miniature bat signed by his students. A highlight of Regina’s work as a teacher within the YMCA can be found in the two bound volumes of course materials that Regina used to teach the future coaches in the sport of basketball.
