Your athletic history is spread across a trophy case, banners, a record board and plaques in the office. One touchscreen can hold all of it, organized by sport and easy for coaches to help keep current.

## What is an athletic department touchscreen display?

An athletic department touchscreen display is an interactive screen that brings a school’s hall of fame, championships, records, team photos and coaches together in one place, organized by sport, usually at the main athletic entrance. HistoryShowcase gives each kind of honor its own collection and layout, and coaches can draft updates for their sports while the athletic director publishes.

- Made for: athletic directors and coaching staffs
- Where schools put it: Main athletic entrance, Athletic office, The athletics web page
- Layouts: Portrait gallery, Pennant, Honors ledger, Photo gallery, Profiles
- Visitors can filter by: Sport, Year
- Cost: Free to use. No payment details required.

## Your history is in five places at once

Most athletic departments tell their story in pieces. Banners hang in the gym, trophies crowd the case, records are painted on a wall in the field house and hall of fame plaques line a hallway nobody walks down. Some sports have years of recognition. Others have almost none, simply because no one had the wall space or the time.

An athletic department touchscreen display brings those pieces together. A visitor can start from a sport and move from its championships to its record holders to the coach who built the program. Every sport gets the same space and the same treatment. And because coaches can draft updates for their own sports, the athletic director doesn’t have to do it all alone.

## How does an athletic department touchscreen display compare with separate plaques, banners and cases?

| What matters | Plaques, banners and cases | HistoryShowcase |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Where history lives | Spread across walls, cases and hallways | One screen, starting from any sport |
| Every sport’s share | Depends on who had wall space | The same layouts for every program |
| Who does the updating | Mostly the athletic director | Coaches draft, a publisher approves |
| Physical presence | Real trophies and banners people can see | Photos and stories behind each honor |
| Matching school colors | Set when each piece was made | Colors and motion set in the design editor |

## What an athletic department display can hold

- **Athletic hall of fame.** Inductees with full biographies, induction years and photos, in a portrait gallery.
- **Championships.** League, section and state titles as championship banners, each opening the team and the season.
- **Records by sport.** Every program’s school records in clean ledger rows, easy to update the day a record falls.
- **Teams and rosters.** Team photos and rosters by season, so former players can find their year.
- **Coaches.** Head coaches through the years, with their seasons and the teams they built.
- **Every sport, equally.** Smaller programs get the same layout and the same space as the biggest ones.

## Athletic department display questions

### Can coaches help keep it current?

Yes. Add colleagues by email as editors. They can make changes in the private draft, and someone with publishing access reviews and publishes them.

### Do we need everything ready before launch?

No. Start with what you have, perhaps the hall of fame and championships, and add records and rosters sport by sport.

### Can we match our school colors?

Yes. The design editor lets you choose layouts and set colors, motion and atmosphere to match your school.

### What if the network drops during a game?

When the display runs full screen or as an installed app, it saves the published site for offline use and keeps showing the last complete version.
