Sports in North America The sources are drawn from mass circulation newspapers (over one half of the total), sporting periodicals, early histories of individual sports, sports manuals and instructional handbooks, organizational documents (constitutions, bylaws, rules of play and regulations), organizational reports, autobiographies, and even archival records. Sports history courses should be grounded in primary documents, and students need to learn how to read and evaluate these sources. The social contexts of sports have often been a missing or limited dimension in sports history, but documents and their availability help to provide the immediate contexts as well as the evidence of the impact of such forces as urbanization, commercialization, standardization, and social stratification. www.h-net.msu.edu /~shgape/reviews/br-kirsch.html   (723 words)
