Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper provides an overview of potential sites for sports historians to position their work. Opportunities to be employed focusing on sports history within a university setting are limited and it is challenging for sports historians to find opportunities for employment within traditional media organisations too. This paper tries to answer the simple question of ‘Where will sport historians go in the future?’ and considers opportunities to work with sporting organisations and others with the aim of presenting our work to audiences. In an uncertain financial climate, it can be difficult to find a role that supports the ambitions of sports historians. The article concludes that sports historians need to develop a multi-faceted approach to their careers, combining traditional academic opportunities with activities aimed at a general audience. Finding an appropriate niche is important.
