This is the finding aid for MS507 - Amos Alonzo Stagg Papers in the Springfield College Archives and Special Collections. The materials within this collection relate primarily to Stagg’s connections with Springfield College. The collection contains Stagg’s official records, his correspondence with various members of the Alumni Association and the College, correspondence to Stagg from other football teams in 1891 (when he was coaching at Springfield College, then the YMCA Training School), and materials related to the dinner held at the College in honor of Stagg’s 100th birthday. The birthday celebration materials include memos, committee minutes, programs, photographs, a short video, and correspondence. Because Jackie Robinson gave the keynote address at this event, there are several photographs of him and some correspondence to him from the College as well. Additionally, the collection contains numerous newspaper articles about Stagg and his achievements and articles in football programs and other journals.
