Issue Index

This is a list of the articles appearing in the journal. Since 2002, almost all of the articles in the back issues of Iron Game History through the August 2005 issue - Volume 9 #1 - have been available free of charge on the website of the LA84 Foundation. (They are working to get more issues available-up to 12 months behind our publishing schedule.) The LA84 Foundation was formed with part of the surplus from the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. The Foundation has two main areas of outreach: it works to encourage youth sports and coaching education in the LA area, and it also plays a leading role in encouraging scholarship in sport studies. Dr. Wayne Wilson directs the Foundation's research efforts, and one of the main initiatives he has undertaken is the creation of a digital library containing both Olympic materials and easily searchable digitized copies of the leading journals in the field of sport studies. The back issues of the prestigious Journal of Sport History are included in the LA84 Foundation digital library, for example, as are those of many other journals in the field, inlcuding our own IGH. Since 2002, when we agreed to allow IGH to become part of the Foundation's digital library, our back issue sales have diminished somewhat. However, being part of this wonderful service has allowed us to reach many thousands more people and to spread the history of physical culture to a much wider audience.

We have provided a link to the LA84 document where possible; click on the title.
