This special issue was conceived as an opportunity to showcase work produced under an Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) scheme of collaborative doctoral partnerships (CDP) initiated in 2012 by the UKRI. Applying as a consortium of seven sports museums in the second round of awards, The Sports Heritage Network (SHN) made a successful bid to oversee museal and university partnership working in 2015 under the title ‘Unlocking the unique sporting heritage in our collections.’ This factual statement belies the years of ongoing networking and relationshipbuilding necessary to secure success in such an application; it is something which must be acknowledged as easing the pathway for academic sports historians to avail themselves of 12 funded supervisory opportunities which were otherwise unlikely to happen in a funding climate more favourable to contemporary issues in sport than their historical antecedents. Beginning in 2016, several projects are now completed, and those researchers recruited into later cohorts are coming close to the end of their research journeys. The ‘holding organisation’ for the award was the National Football Museum (NFM) and its founding Director, Kevin Moore, was listed as the application’s Principal Investigator. Recognition of the consortium by the AHRC can be viewed as a significant breakthrough for Moore who had been advocating for stronger representation of popular culture within the sector over many years, most notably through his seminal book Museums and Popular Culture, its convictions most obviously brought to fruition via his work at the NFM. He also wanted to see academic sports historians consistently researching in and sharing their research through museum spaces, a perspective underpinned by the belief that the dominance of written documentary sources hosted in ‘the archive’ represented a broader neglect of material culture within the writing of sports history.

ABSTRACT The provision of medical support for athletes during the Olympic Games has been a feature of each Olympic event. Prior to 1960, medical services were largely utilitarian in nature, frequently relying on military medical services and focused on providing only the essential medical support to athletes, support staff and spectators during the games. However, the appointment of Professor Luigi Gedda to lead the Medical and Scientific Committee for Rome led to an expansion of healthcare services beyond routine clinical delivery, to focus on an extensive and controversial research and education programme during the games. Subsequently, the games were confronted by a range of novel clinical scenarios, including the presence of intense heat during competitions, the transmission of infectious disease among athletes, the rapidly expanding use of drugs by athletes and the death of an athlete following competition. This paper utilises archival documents and contemporary sources to critically review the nature, effectiveness and impact of the healthcare provided at the 1960 Olympic Games.
