Sport in History is a history journal that publishes original, archivally-based research on the history of sport, leisure and recreation. The journal encourages the study of sport to illuminate broader historical issues and debates.

Forthcoming special issues will focus on the history of drugs in sport, sport in Ireland and Roger Bannister and the four minute mile.

“Sport in History publishes high quality historical research on sport, combining a wide range of topics and approaches, attracting a mix of leading historians and younger scholars, with excellent special issues - 'amateurism', 'the aesthetics of sport', and ‘sports literature', are recent examples. It is interdisciplinary, serious, accessible and lively with meticulous and expert editorial direction.”

Professor Richard Holt, De Montfort University, UK
