The original Sports Temples of Boston was a collaborative effort of
several institutions that provided digital images of
original items held in their collections and also offered
insight into Boston's sports architecture and sports history. Though the collection now only contains images digitized from the Boston Public Library collections, these institutions offer a wealth of history and artifacts about Boston's Sports Temples.
