Cochrane Cunningham Athletics Archive

The Cochrane Cunningham Archives is a collection of over 1074 linear feet that documents the history of athletics, physical education, men’s and women’s sports, and band and spirit at BGSU. It was conceived and created by former BGSU coaches/administrators Mickey Cochrane and Don Cunningham starting in 1985. The collection continues to grow in size thanks to new donations. Items from the collection can be seen in person at the Schmidthorst Heritage Hall gallery in the Stroh Center and the lobby of the Slater Family Ice Arena. These exhibits will change on a regular basis.
