About Us

It's All Here

Since 2003, The Georgetown Basketball History Project has brought together the names, the stories, and the memories of Georgetown basketball to an online audience.

In 2010, the site helped support research for "The Georgetown Basketball Vault", which chronicled a century of basketball on the Hilltop combined with numerous photos and souvenir items in each book.

Crossing The Line

"The largest Catholic university south of the Mason-Dixon Line, it consciously avoided the issue of integration while the issue was growing externally in importance and resolve across the country.
