European Committee for Sports History
The European Committee for Sports History ( CESH ) is an association of European sports historians. It was founded in 1995 in Bordeaux . The founding president was Arnd Krüger .
The association has a College of Fellows that co-opts the leading (2016: 63 from 22 countries) sport historians, provided they have published at least one monograph on sport history, participate in CESH conferences and are able to work in two European languages. The aim of the organization is better cooperation between sports historians in Europe. For this purpose, annual scientific conferences (so far in nine countries) are held. In 2001 it took place at the University of Göttingen in cooperation with the Lower Saxony Institute for Sports History .
During the conferences, prizes will be awarded for the best young talent and a distinguished sports historian will hold the Horst Ueberhorst Memorial Lecture . The organization publishes an academic journal that has been published as European Studies in Sports History by the Rouen and Le Havre University Press since 2008 . The Annual of CESH was published from 2000 to 2005.
