This series consists of the Sports Club Objective Performance Evaluation (SCOPE) files of the UNSW Rugby League & Oztag Club. SCOPE is a percentage score system designed by the Sports Association to determine the amount of funding a club gains for the following year. Scores are given in six areas - membership, administration, activities, coaching & instruction/training, marketing and finance - and a club is given a score out of 100 based on their achievements in each area. The Rugby League & Oztag Club have retained annual files that have been arranged into the six SCOPE areas. Each file consists of correspondence, minutes, newsletters, annual reports, membership lists and other information for that particular year in the life of the club.

The first meeting of the Interfaculty Sports Club was held on 19 March 1965 with representatives from each faculty invited to attend. The purpose of the Club was to raise awareness of sporting opportunities for students in order to increase participation throughout the University. The Club covered many different sports. In 1970 (following a less than impressive year prior), the Club played only Men's Judo, Rifle Shooting, Men's and Women's Swimming, Rugby Union and Soccer. This level of activity was seen as disappointing by the office bearers. In 1971, it was proposed that the Club be converted into a sub-committee of the Sports Association, because its general function was different from other sporting clubs. Its success in encouraging student participation amongst people who would not otherwise play competitive sports was noted. It appears that the Club ceased around 1973.

The draft constitution for the Ski Club was written in 1961, so the Club likely formed at this time. It wasn't until 1963 that the Club was established as an official sporting body of the University.

On 6 November 2006 Council resolved to approve the delegation of authority to the Student Affairs Committee with the agreement of the Vice-Chancellor, to approve amendments to the constitutions of UNSW Union, the Union Student Guild, the Postgraduate Board, the College of Fine Arts Students' Association and the UNSW Sports Association (where such amendments are requested by the governing body of the relevant student organisation), and such other actions and agreements necessary to give effect to the winding up of the existing student organisations and the transition to a new student organisation, and to a new model for delivery of sport and other student services for UNSW in 2007 (resolution CL06/87). In the first week of session one in 2007, all UNSW students were informed by email of the intention to integrate the functions of the Sports Association and the Lifestyle Centre (Unigym) into a new department of Sport and Recreation (25 October 2007 Student Affairs Committee papers). At the 25 October 2007 meeting of the Student Affairs Committee it was noted that it was anticipated that formal transfer to the new department would be completed by the end of the year. Mr Mark Lockie would be appointed as the new General Manager of UNSW's new Sport and Recreation department on 29 October. The Sport and Recreation section was initially part of the division of the Chief Operating Officer. Following the departure of the Chief Operating Officer in September 2008, Sport and Recreation was moved to the division of the Executive Director, University Services. In 2010 the General Manager of Sport and Recreation remained Mark Lockie. While Sport and Recreation remained the responsibility of the Vice-President, University Services, the unit as such was soon disbanded. In 2013 the operations of the UNSW Fitness and Aquatic Centre were outsourced and run by the YMCA NSW while UNSW Sport encompassing the management of Sports Clubs, UNSW University Games teams as well as the facilitation of sports facilities such as Village Green, David Phillips Field, Tarban Creek and the Sam Cracknell Pavilion were transferred to Arc in July 2013.
