International Institute for Sport History (IISOH)
The IISOH is a Pennsylvania non-profit educational, literary and research corporation under section 501(c)3 of the IRS Code and is organized to operate a Library and Museum for the History of Sport, Physical Education, Recreation, Dance, Sport in Art and the Olympic Games. The "Institute" plans to develop a large sports-oriented campus with a Library & Museum in central Pennsylvania supported in perpetuity by an endowment of $300+ million. Already started - the SPORT IN ART Poster Series. Wrestling and Gymnastics posters have been printed and are available!! We have also created videos that are posted on YouTube promoting wrestling & gymnastics; more planned. Our primary website is www.sportlibrary.org. Learn more about the IISOH mission, the Sport in Art Poster Series, the National Olympic Committee Directory and much more as we add pages during 2024. COVID slowed us down, our other website at www.iisoh.org is still being rebuilt. We have a fund-raising campaign called the MILLION DONOR PROJECT and it is designed to get one million people to make a single, once-in-a-lifetime donation of just $25.00 (twenty-five Dollars) to fund an endowment of $25 million. This will enable the IISOH to focus on our mission rather than annual fund-raising. There will never be a need to ask donors for more support. Go here for details: https://www.sportlibrary.org/chartercampaign2.html In 2015 we planned to open a facility with an office, storage, a huge public area for flea markets every weekend and a test restaurant. However our landlord bailed out on us after two years of planning and thus we lost a large department store location that would have generated lots of activity in the community. So we are looking for another location instead and hope to open in 2024-25. COVID seriously impacted our ability to function. We need your support! Join us as a CHARTER MEMBER for just a single $25.00 donation. Get a lifetime acknowledgement - https://www.sportlibrary.org
