Sport and Oral History Conference
The conference will be held on Friday April 3rd and Saturday April 4th 2009
at the University of Huddersfield in West Yorkshire.
The two day conference will include papers on oral history and sport,
covering a wide range of sports, such as football, cricket, boxing,
baseball, but especially rugby league.
There will be a dinner on the Friday evening and on the Friday afternoon
there will be the opportunity to visit the Rugby League Heritage Centre at
the George Hotel in Huddersfield, venue of the 1895 meeting when rugby
league was formed. On the Saturday afternoon we will be officially
launching the Rugby Football League archive which has been acquired by the
University. A conference schedule is included.
Speakers include:
Dr Rob Perks, Secretary of the Oral History Society
Professor Tony Collins, Leeds Metropolitan University
Professor Pellom McDaniels III, University of Missouri Kansas City
Dr Greg Mallory, Griffiths University, Queensland, Australia
Cost for the conference is £60 for delegates from institutions
£30 for private individuals and concessions.
This includes lunch, tea and coffee, etc.
Delegates will pay for their own meal on the Friday evening and we expect
the cost of this to be around £20.
Delegates will be responsible for finding and paying for their own
accommodation. A list of hotels and their rates will be forwarded on
receipt of conference payment.
