  • SCA holds print and archival material that document sport, recreation and leisure activities in the Region of Waterloo and beyond. These include cookbooks, scrapbooks, knitting and crafting patterns, and ephemera and photographs related to theatre and performance, SCA also maintains the records of various organizations including the Concordia Club, the Kitchener-Waterloo Young Men's Christian Association, the Young Women's Christian Association of Kitchener-Waterloo, and Westmount Golf and Country Club.

  • SCA maintains, but no longer actively collects, records and rare books related to the history and performance of dance. These collections contain material describing the history of various types of dance including ancient dance and sport (particularly as performed by the Greeks), Scottish dancing, as well as the cotillion, waltz, minuet, and the quadrille. Additionally, the collections feature a significant amount of material related to ballet including choreography, dance notations, lithographs, engravings, over 150 rare books, and records detailing the scheduling and planning of the Vestris Prize for choreography.

    Dance related collections were acquired to support the Department of Dance within the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences, and dance courses that began being offered during the 1969-1970 school year, which predated the department’s founding as an independent program in 1972. The Dance Program was closed in 1996.
