This series contains photographs of University and Intervarsity sports teams which were affiliated with the Adelaide University Sports Association, c.1890 - 1998, although the majority of photos are dated before 1965.

Most photographs are black and white or sepia and mounted on card or on pages that were originally in a bolt bound volume with the sport, year, and in many cases the team members' names. For photographs that are not mounted, if known the sport, year and/or team members' names may be written on the back of the photograph.

Also included are photographs of the General Committee of the Sports Association, 1921 - 1925, 1929 - 1936, 1938 - 1941.
