He is an avid collector of material related to the sport. He and his wife Gail live in Oregon. Scope and content The Tremaine Arkley Croquet Collection contains over 2,400 paintings, illustrations, engravings, advertisements, photographs and other ephemera depicting the game of croquet throughout the years. The images range from fine art to cartoons and everything in between, and show the rise in the game’s popularity in England and America in the 19th and 20th centuries. Many items in the collection show gender roles, as croquet was one of the first games that men and women played together. Much of the collection has been digitized and is available to view on UBC’s Digital Collections website at http://digitalcollections.library.ubc.ca/cdm/landingpage/collection/arkley.

  • History and Rules for Medieval Ground and Table Billiards by THL Aurddeilen-Ap-Robet
    Original Published October 2013; Updated March 2017 History and Rules for Medieval Ground and Table Billiards by THL Aurddeilen-ap-Robet A Brief History of the Game The Modern game of Billiards (originally called “Port and King”) is generally regarded to have evolved into an indoor game from outdoor stick-and-ball lawn games such as Jeu de mail, Paille-maille, Trucco, Croquet, Golf, and the stick-less game of Bocce. The first literary mention of a form of the word "billiards" appears in Edmund Spenser's Mother Hubberd's Tale in 1591, where he speaks of "all thriftless games that may be found ... with dice, with cards, with billiards". The word "billiard" may have evolved from the French word billart or billette, meaning "stick", in reference to the mace, an implement similar to a golf club. The term billiard may have also originated from the French word bille, meaning "ball". A form of billiards was played outdoors in the 1340s, and was reminiscent of croquet in that it used hoops and pins. King Louis XI of France had the first known indoor billiard table constructed in the 15th Century. Louis XIV further refined and popularized the game, and it swiftly spread amongst the French nobility. While the game had long been played on the ground, this version appears to have died out in the 17th century, in favor of croquet, golf, and various bowling games.
