We live in a "museum age," and sport museums are part of this
phenomenon. In this book, leading international sport history
scholars examine sport museums including renowned institutions like
the Olympic Museum in the Swiss city of Lausanne, the Babe Ruth
Birthplace and Museum in Baltimore, the Marylebone Cricket Club
Museum in London, the Croke Park Museum in Dublin, and the Whyte
Museum in Banff. These institutions are examined in a broad context
of understanding sport museums as an identifiable genre in the
"museum age", and more specifically in terms of how the sporting
past is represented in these museums. Historians explain, debate
and critique sport museums with the intention of understanding how
this important form of public history represents sport for
audiences who see museums as institutions that are inherently
reliable and trustworthy.

For all of the doubts raised about the effectiveness of
international aid in advancing peace and development, there are few
examples of developing countries that are even relatively untouched
by it. Sarah G. Phillips's When There Was No Aid offers us one such
example. Using evidence from Somaliland's experience of
peace-building, When There Was No Aid challenges two of the most
engrained presumptions about violence and poverty in the global
South. First, that intervention by actors in the global North is
self-evidently useful in ending them, and second that the quality
of a country's governance institutions (whether formal or informal)
necessarily determines the level of peace and civil order that the
country experiences. Phillips explores how popular discourses about
war, peace, and international intervention structure the conditions
of possibility to such a degree that even the inability of
institutions to provide reliable security can stabilize a prolonged
period of peace. She argues that Somaliland's post-conflict peace
is grounded less in the constraining power of its institutions than
in a powerful discourse about the country's structural, temporal,
and physical proximity to war. Through its sensitivity to the ease
with which peace gives way to war, Phillips argues, this discourse
has indirectly harnessed an apparent propensity to war as a source
of order.

From statistical databases to story archives, from fan sites to the
real-time reactions of Twitter-empowered athletes, the digital
communication revolution has changed the way sports fans relate to
their favorite teams. In this volume, contributors from Australia,
Ireland, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States
analyze the parallel transformation in the field of sport history,
showing the ways powerful digital tools raise vital philosophical,
epistemological, ontological, methodological, and ethical questions
for scholars and students alike. Chapters consider how the
philosophical and theoretical understanding of the meaning of
history influence a willingness to engage with digital history, and
conceptualize the relationship between history making and the
digital era. As the writers show, digital media's mostly untapped
potential for studying the recent past via blogs, chat rooms,
gambling sites, and the like forge a symbiosis between sports and
the internet, and offer historians new vistas to explore and
utilize. Sport History in the Digital Era also shows how the best
digital history goes beyond a static cache of curated documents.
Instead, it becomes a truly public history that serves as a dynamic
site of enquiry and discussion. In such places, scholars enter into
a give-and-take with individuals while inviting the audience to
grapple with, rather than passively absorb, the evidence being
offered. Timely and provocative, Sport History in the Digital Era
affirms how the information revolution has transformed sport and
sport history--and shows the road ahead. Contributors include
Douglas Booth, Mike Cronin, Martin Johnes, Matthew Klugman,
Geoffery Z. Kohe, Tara Magdalinski, Fiona McLachlan, Bob Nicholson,
Rebecca Olive, Gary Osmond, Murray G. Phillips, Stephen Robertson,
Synthia Sydnor, Holly Thorpe, and Wayne Wilson.
