The Sydney 2000 Olympic and Paralympic Games were ushered in by a range of activities, programs and festivals, including the bid itself, the Olympic and Paralympic Arts Festivals, Quilts 2000 (a community fundraising project) and the Olympic Youth Camp.
Banners, documents and souvenirs are just some of the objects that record these preliminary events, documenting the formal and informal programs that would help to secure and then promote the Sydney 2000 Games.
