The process of converting the 'past' into 'history' involves
engagement with a multitude of different sources and methods, and
sports historians inevitably participate in the same debates over
approaches and methodologies as their counterparts in other
historical disciplines. At its heart, history remains a genre of
empirical knowledge that is based upon the remains of the past, and
without suitable evidence, there can be no sports history. A
burgeoning range of sources has stimulated new ways of thinking and
a significant expansion in the sports historian's evidentiary base,
as textual sources have been supplemented by photos, films and
cartoons, uniforms, architecture, maps and landscapes, and material
culture more generally. This book deals with some of these
innovations. It is divided into two sections, the first offering
chapter-length studies of particular methodologies, and the second,
brief responses from experts in their fields to the question 'what
can sports historians learn from other disciplines?'
