The
Australian Society for Sports History produces two main publications, which
appear twice yearly. The Society's journal, Sporting
Traditions, is a fully refereed journal that promotes the serious
study of sport in society. Articles should deal with the economic, political,
social, legal or philosophical significance of sporting activity. Whilst most
of the articles in the past have been on Australian sport and have an
historical focus, articles on other societies and on contemporary sport may
be submitted for consideration. The journal also contains a strong reviews
section. To submit manscripts to Sporting Traditions, please contact
the editor, Lionel Frost.
The ASSH
Bulletin is a biannual publication that publishes local and amateur
histories, award winning student essays, short articles and opinion pieces,
book and conference reviews and provides information more generally about the
progress of the Society. As a courtesy to members, we also publish book
notices and include flyers on recent publications in our mailouts
to members. For non-members, this service is available at a fee. To submit
work to the Bulletin, please contact the editor, Tara Magdalinski.

ASSH
Studies
From time to time, ASSH publishes ASSH Studies as
separate volumes. Available volumes include:
 ASSH Studies #22
Mary
Bushby & Thomas V. Hickie (eds) Rugby
History:The Remaking of the Class Game.
ISBN 978-0-9757616-9-4
Australia is unique in the way that it provides support for an array of
football codes. This volume of ASSH Studies has a principal
focus on the remaking of ‘the class game’, but all of the chapters
demonstrate in different ways how the various codes continue to intersect.
Amateur idealism, biography, collective bargaining, international tours, and
heritage issues are just some of the topics covered in the nine chapters of
this anthology. Rugby History: The Remaking of the Class Game draws from the
latest research of Australian and British scholars, providing valuable
insights into the role and significance of Rugby in the contemporary
sporting world.
Contributors include Sean Brawley, Mary Bushby, Tony Collins, Braham
Dabscheck, Gregory de Moore, Thomas V. Hickie, Anthony Hughes, Jed Smith and
Laura Stedman. The Series Editor’s Introduction is provided by Rob Hess.

ASSH Studies #21
Clare S. Simpson
(ed) Scorchers, Ramblers and Rovers:
Australasian Cycling Histories. ISBN 978-0-9757616-8-7 ($25)
Despite a long history of cycling
activities in Australia
and New Zealand,
there is still a sense that the study of this machine and its social impact
is in its infancy. In Scorchers, Ramblers and Rovers, Clare S. Simpson
keeps the wheels of research rolling by editing the
first volume of ASSH Studies to deal exclusively with the history of
cycling in Australasia. From biography to
manufacturing, to racing and touring, and featuring rarely published images
dealing with the cycling phenomenon, the six chapters and appendices in this
book represent a microcosm of the endlessly fascinating social history of the
bicycle.
Scorchers, Ramblers and Rovers: Australasian Cycling Histories is edited by Clare S. Simpson (Lincoln University, New Zealand). Contributors include Clare S. Simpson,
Geraldine McFarlane, Paul Farren, Sophie Couchman, Fiona Kinsey and Rod Charles. The Series
Editor’s Introduction is provided by Rob Hess.

ASSH Studies #20
Rob Hess (ed.) Making Histories, Making Memories: The
Construction of Australian Sporting Identities
ISBN 978-0-9757616-7-0 ($25)
This volume of ASSH Studies is a revealing
snapshot of the latest research in Australian sports history. Featuring
essays drawn from entries submitted to the ASSH Honours Dissertation Prize in
2004 and 2005, Making Histories, Making Memories: The Construction of
Australian Sporting Identities, examines a range of past
and present sporting practices and subjects them to critical analysis. Innovative
explorations of cricket, aquatics, judo, golf, and Australian Rules football,
as well as a detailed investigation of the Australian print media, are all
loosely framed in the context of widespread debates about how, when and why
sporting identities are constructed. The material in this collection, written
by some of Australia’s emerging new scholars, challenges current
understandings, and has the potential to further extend the boundaries of the
discipline.

ASSH Studies #19
Bill Murray & Roy Hay (eds) The
World Game Downunder. ISBN: 0-9757616-6-8 ($25)
Australia’s qualification to play in the
World Cup finals in Germany
in June 2006 has brought about renewed interest in the football code that has
so often been marginalised in popular and academic perceptions. In the
long run, however, the reorganisation of the code, which has involved moving
from the Oceania to the Asian confederation
and the establishment of a new domestic A-League, may have even more profound
effects on the development of the game in Australia.
This collection brings to wider
notice some aspects of the history of the game in Australia which have not been
appreciated even by specialists. It does so in an accessible manner so
that, in addition to celebrating the current generation of heroes, we can
recognise their predecessors and the pioneers of the game. It also
contains a survey of the state of knowledge about Australian soccer and an
interim bibliography to provide a starting point for those who will extend
knowledge of the world game in the future
Contributors
include Nick Guoth, Roy Hay, Anthony Hughes,
Richard Kreider, Philip Mosely
and Bill Murray. The Series Editor’s Introduction is provided by Rob
Hess.

ASSH Studies #18
Tim Hogan, Reading the Game: An Annotated Guide to the
Literature and Films of Australian Rules Football. ISBN 0-9757616-5-X ($28)
This
publication is a significant milestone in the historiography
of Australian sport. Featuring almost two thousand entries and hundreds of
annotations, Reading the Game not only covers the rules of the code,
personalities, and club histories, it exposes a vast array of unpublished
theses and a variety of archived manuscripts. Drawing on the considerable
resources of the State Library of Victoria and the expertise of leading
football scholars, Tim Hogan has produced a user-friendly research tool that
will serve the needs of domestic and international sports fans, as well as
specialist researchers, collectors, and those with a more general interest in
Australian Rules football.
Tim Hogan is the Newspaper
Librarian at the State Library of Victoria, Melbourne, Australia. Contributors include David Flegg, Lionel Frost, Rob Hess, Tim Hogan, Dave Nadel, Matthew Nicholson and Ian Warren.
