PRESERVING THE PHOG
The University of Kansas Libraries are honored to debut a digital archive of more than 60,000 items related to Forrest “Phog” Allen, known around the world as the “Father of Basketball Coaching.” Coach Allen made an unforgettable impact on the future of basketball at the University of Kansas during his 37 years as head coach. In our historic Preserving the Phog collection, KU basketball fans can electronically browse a collection of materials showcasing Phog’s contributions to the legacy of basketball at the university and beyond. The digitization of this remarkable collection was made possible through the generous support of alumni and friends who helped to ensure these materials will be accessible for generations to come. Find out how you can support this effort, and see the full digital collection at lib.ku.edu/Phog.
