Sport Digital Archives and the Future of Education through Sport

Abstract

Recent years have seen growing interest in sports digital archives (SDA). This paper examines the significance of SDA and their potential for education through sport. The importance of digital archiving of historical and cultural materials related to sport has not been well understood. Multidimensional records and data related to human body and performance can also be included in the SDA content. Effective SDA use may provide a new challenge for education through sport to relive, share and pass on historical physical experiences from different eras and societies.
