The Sydney 2000 Games, comprising
both Olympic and Paralympic events, took place from 15 September to
29 October 2000. In 2001, the NSW State Government formally transferred
a collection of around 700 objects or object groups from the Sydney
Olympic and Paralympic Games to the Powerhouse Museum. The Powerhouse
retained 614, with the rest being distributed to cultural institutions
around Australia. Specifically, this material relates to the work of
the specially set-up bodies of the New South Wales Government: the Olympic
Coordination Authority (OCA), the Olympic Roads and Transport Authority
(ORTA), the Sydney Organising Committee for the Olympic Games (SOCOG)
and the Sydney Paralympic Organising Committee (SPOC).
