Sport in History is the official journal of the British Society of Sports History. Four times per year, it publishes original, peer-reviewed research on the history of sport, leisure and recreation. One or two of these are usually special issues. There are no restrictions on its geographical and chronological coverage.
BSSH members receive a copy of each published edition of the journal, and are granted free electronic access to current and past issues by signing in to the members' website and following the link.
Members are strongly encouraged to get in touch with the journal editors with short proposals, including a list of contributors, for future special issues. Click to find out more.
We welcome interest in reviewing from PhD students, early career researchers, established academics and independent researchers. The Reviews Editor, Dr Lisa Taylor, is responsible for commissioning reviews.
