<mods:abstract>This is the URL for the finding aid for MS 501- Peter V. Karpovich Papers in the Springfield College Archives and Special Collections. This collection documents the personal and professional life of Peter V. 1919 to 1975. The bulk of the material covers professional research activities from 1940 to 1968. Karpovich’s research interests were primarily focused on the physiological and kinesiological aspects of physical education. He sought the development of physical education as an area of scientific inquiry. Included in the collection are correspondence, telegrams, research data in the form of tables and graphs, preliminary project reports, final project reports, published articles, project artifacts, prints, negatives, slides, film and audio reels that document various research projects. His professional life is also documented through scrapbooks containing photographs, newspaper clippings and magazine clippings. These materials show Karpovich’s interaction with colleagues, research subjects, the media, and the general public. His unique perspective is illuminated in the various speeches and correspondence with the public who sought advice on topics ranging from bodybuilding to establishing physical education programs in high schools. The collection contains personal information on Karpovich’s life outside of his professional career in the form of photographic prints, an unpublished memoir, and scrapbooks. There are no personal correspondence with family with the exception of one letter from his nephew (Series 1a, box 1, folder 1) and a letter from his son George on the first page of the scrapbook in box 26. Despite its brevity, the personal materials give a well-rounded view into Karpovich’s circle of friends and family and his personal interests. For more information on Peter V. Karpovich, see: https://springfield.as.atlas-sys.com/agents/people/571</mods:abstract>
