In addition to the thousands of books on various turf and field sports, the National Sporting Library also possesses a large collection of organizational records, personal papers, scrapbooks, photographs and photograph albums, and original pedigree albums. These collections, which range in volume from one slim ledgerbook to several cubic feet of papers, pertain to such renowned sporting personages as F. Ambrose Clark, Alexander Henry Higginson, Alexander Mackay-Smith, and Harry Worcester Smith. Also included are the hunting diaries and business papers of such hunts as the Nantucket Harriers, the Buckram Beagles, the Piedmont Hunt, the Treweryn Beagles, and the Warrenton Hunt.

The NSL's Archives and Manuscripts Collections allow patrons to catch a more intimate glimpse of sporting life through the years through firsthand personal diaries, letters, and scrapbooks. Visitors can also pour through decades of organizational business papers to follow the evolution of a particular hunt or sporting associations,

These collections are open to use by any visitor, but the materials may only be used onsite and under the supervision of the librarian or archivist. In order to facilitate access to the NSL's collections, a brief description of each collection has been provided on this website. Reference requests should be directed to (540) 687-6542.
