THE OLYMPIC WORLD LIBRARY - THE OLYMPIC STUDIES CENTRE
THE OLYMPIC WORLD LIBRARY
We believe that Olympic knowledge deserves to be shared and should be easily accessible to researchers worldwide. This is why we have created the Olympic World Library (OWL) for you.
It is simultaneously a library catalogue, an information portal and a search engine for Olympic knowledge.
Via this portal you can access the unique collections of The Olympic Studies Centre, with all the official Olympic publications, and also find books, articles and selected dissertations produced by academics and professionals from all around the world. Click here to know how to borrow a publication.
It offers a single platform to access our entire digital and printed collection, and also connects you directly to other important publication platforms which publish Olympic content.
Please note that search results on the OWL do not include resources from the Historical Archives. For information about this collection, please click here.
If you are seeking photos, videos or sound recordings in the framework of an academic project linnked to Olympism and/or sport, you can access the Olympic Multimedia Library. To do so, please write to images@olympic.org, mentioning the name of your university, your academic status and a brief description of your project.
For any comments or questions about the Olympic World Library, write to us at studies.centre@olympic.org.
