The International Journal of the History of Sport is the world’s leading sport history academic periodical with fully-refereed global coverage of the subject. As well as regular issues, the IJHS also offers regionally-focused issues on the Americas, Africa, Asia, Australasia and the Pacific, Europe, and the Middle East, and special issues each year on significant topics and themes.

The Journal of Sport History is published three times a year by the North American Society for Sport History (NASSH). The purpose of NASSH is to promote, stimulate, and encourage study and research and writing of the history of sport, and to support and cooperate with local, national, and international organizations having the same purposes.

The future is here, and for all, not least sport historians, it’s important to be ready for whatever changes that may involve. Luckily, a collection of articles is available, Sport History in the Digital Era edited by Gary Osmond and Murray G. Phillips, and our reviewer Scott D. Peterson finds a book full of useful ideas.

Idrottens kulturarv – heritage, legacy – har diskuterats flitigt på senare tid, eftersom detta ofta får legitimera satsningar på kostbara event, och ämnet är centralt i antologin Sport Heritage, redigerad av Gregory Ramshaw (Routledge). Christian Widholm bjuder på en kritisk läsning och en redovisning av sådant som är bra i boken, men också av sådant som är mindre bra.
