An examination of the relationship between sport and its cultural
heritage. Sport is an integral part of British culture and an
important aspect of modern life. Although its importance has been
recognised by academic historians, sport has yet to be fully
appreciated in the growing and related fields of heritage and
museum studies. Sport and heritage have operated as seemingly
separate spheres, yet together they can convey powerful messages;
convergence between them is seen in the rise and popularity of
sports museums, the collecting of sporting art and memorabilia, and
popular concern over the demise of historic sports buildings and
sport-related sites. These places, exhibitions and activities help
to shape our understanding of sport, history and the past. The
essays in this volume explore sports history as manifested in
academic enquiry, museum exhibitions and heritage sites. They deal
among other things with the public representation of sport and its
significance; its impacton public spheres; the direction of sports
heritage studies and their aims; the role of museums in public
history; and place, memory and meaning in the historic sports
landscape. Contributors: Jeffrey Hill, Jed Smith,Anthony Bateman,
