There's still time to book onto the the 2014 Sports Heritage Network (SHN) Conference, 19th September 2014. The event will celebrate and support a greater understanding of the power of sporting heritage as a topic for oral history. The British Library is the inspirational venue to discuss past, present and future activity in this field. The delegate fee is just £30 for the whole event.
Research suggests that the sporting past, and specifically tangible and intangible heritage connected with sporting memories, can have profound effects on individuals and communities. The conference aims to understand more about current activity in this field, draw together conclusions about the importance of sporting heritage in supporting oral history activity, and establish future opportunities and partnerships.
The event will bring together speakers and delegates from backgrounds including: academia, heritage, health, local authorities, education, and sport.
