German Association of Sports Museums, Sport Archives and Sports Collections“

Since its establishment in 2003, the DAGS unifies people and establishments whose goal it is to conserve cultural assets of sports in different ways. Its functions range

from collecting, documenting, investigating and presenting historical artifacts and information of and about German sports.

It is the DAGS’s goal to present the cultural value of sports museums, archives and collections to society. Through information and cooperation of its members, the :association aims to create long lasting synergetic effects which aid in completing the various tasks associated with the conception and development of sports historical :archives and collections, as well as the maintenance of the corresponding museums.

The DAGS is constantly looking for new partners - sports associations, clubs and archives, educational institutions and self-evidently sports historians to achieve their :goals.

By mediating between different partners, sports historical collections which are in danger of being lost can be saved and transferred to museums. Furthermore, the DAGS :provides consultation in correct archiving and assists in obtaining and preserving transcribed sports history.

By use of these methods, the historical archives of the German Gymnastics Association (Deutscher-Turnerbund [DTB]), the National ParalympicCommittee of Germany (Deutscher :Behindertensportverband [DBS]) and the German University Sports Federation (Allgemeiner Deutscher Hochschulsportverband [adh]) could be evaluated, secured and partially :transferred to public archives.

International scientific symposiums are carried out and publicized by the DAGS to inform and communicate with their members and offer the opportunity to exchange experiences gathered in the field. In the past years these were

Frank Dürr, Karl Lennartz (Hg.): Olympische Spiele – Historytelling. Köln 2012 (Mitteilungsblatt der Deutschen Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Sportmuseen, Sportarchive und Sportsammlungen e.V. Bd. 5)
