  • Sports Archives and Collections in Australia Edgar Crook, Australian Sports Commission
    Sports archives and collections in Australia Edgar Crook, Australian Sports Commission Sport is one of the defining cultural pastimes and interests in Australia. Australians are renowned for their love of sport and their attendance at amateur and professional sporting events reflects this. Nearly half of the Australian population regularly participate in some sporting or physical activity. Accordingly, Australia is one of the world’s most successful sporting nations in terms of medal success. Where Australia may not be as successful is in managing all its sporting records. Sporting activity, like many of the performance arts, essentially entails a live game, match or race. However, unlike for instance a dance or theatre performance there is no script or notation and every sport event is a one-off where the conditions or opponents cannot be repeated. What can be collected directly from sport performances therefore is often just the recording of the event. Initially this was in print reportage form, then through still photography, and now through sound and film/video recordings. With the unique access afforded by the digitisation of Australia’s newspapers within Trove (http://trove.nla.gov.au) it is possible to find the very earliest written reports of sporting events. The digitised picture location service also available via Trove makes finding historic sports images also very accessible. Aside from reportage of sports, what is also collected is the accompanying event paraphernalia or ephemera (advertisements, tickets, posters, programmes or brochures, costumes or kits) as well as the resulting statistical facts about athletes, scores and results. All of the large publicly funded Australian cultural and collecting agencies, including, The National Library of Australia (NLA), the National Archives of Australia, the National Museum of Australia as well as the Powerhouse Museum and National Sports Museum have extensive sports collections.

  • AUSTRALIA's RACEWALKING NATIONAL EVENT COACHES the Australian Track & Field Coaches Association (AT&FCA) Was Founded In
    AUSTRALIA'S RACEWALKING NATIONAL EVENT COACHES The Australian Track & Field Coaches Association (AT&FCA) was founded in 1974 as an association to which all interested in coaching track and field athletics could belong. Much has flowered from this humble beginning. The idea of National Coaches / National Squads came out of a report on the future development of athletics in Australia, written by members of the AT&FCA Victorian Branch (including Norm Osborne, Fred Graf, John Boas, Dot Walke and Henri Schubert) and adopted in principle by the Australian Amateur Athletic Union (AAAU) at its Hobart Conference in March 1977. The seed had been planted but it was not until Alan McDonald and Rick Pannell took over as President and Secretary of the AAAU in March 1978 that the particulars began to take shape. Dr Jean Roberts was appointed as the inaugural AAAU Coaching and Technical Director in March 1979 with the specific mandate to develop a comprehensive national coaching structure. Her first step was to facilitate the creation of the AAU Alcoa National Squad as a long range program for improving Australia's athletic performance. A two year sponsorship by Alcoa was announced in June 1979 and over the next two years, the sport and the level of professional coaching blossomed in Australia. There were Alcoa Challenge Series track meets, coaching camps and an eventual extension of the AAU Alcoa National Squad to include leading junior athletes. The appointment of National Event Coaches (NECs) was the result of a second report, this time by the Executive of AT&FCA (Jean Roberts, Marlene Mathews and John Daly), adopted in late 1979.
