A recent conference in the UK caught my eye (and ears). The Sport and Oral History Conference was hosted by the University of Huddersfield last month. There was quite a bit of Australian content, with particular regard to rugby league football. Greg Mallory spoke about his oral history project concerning the Brisbane Rugby League. Charles Little presented his findings on supporters' memories of South Sydney, and Simon Foster talked about the 'Indomitable' British Lions' tour of Australia in 1946.
All these presentations can be downloaded or streamed as .wma files.
Other highlights include a feature on the Gaelic Athletic Association Oral History Project coordinated by Boston College, and Up and Under, the rugby league oral history project undertaken at the University of Huddersfield.
