You have #SportArchives ?!?! Why yes, yes we do. The Donald Briggs Collection is almost all sport photos; there's also sport content in many of other collections. We think these women's volleyball pics are from the late 1970s and 1980s. #Archive30

We are an active workplace in HarperCollins & we have the photos from #HCArchive to prove it! These images taken between 1948 & 1950 show past Collins staff taking part in different sports, including tug-of-war, during a company's sports day. #SportArchives #Archive30 ARA Scotland
