Club History Books

Hi!

I've just started a new project to help GAA club history books get published - so if anyone knows of anyone who is working on one, or is thinking about giving it a go, it'd be great to hear about it.

We've just signed up our first club so we're looking forward to talking to as many clubs as we can.

Cheers!

Get in touch with Loughinisland, Down. I recently read their club history publication. An unreal piece of work.

PM me your details, our club is 50 years old this year and it is one of the possibilities that a few of us are thinking about

We have just completed our 50th anniversary booklet last year. I'm not a critic of books or anything, but I think it's good...

Thanks everyone!

I was working in history books for a long time there, including some sports titles. What I'm hoping to do is help clubs get a really professional book - one they can hopefully use for a bit of fundraising. Speaking to a few more clubs at the minute so fingers crossed!

Is this part of the Oral History project?

It's not, no - it's just a publishing project. When I worked for my last employer we got a lot of queries about books like these so I just thought it was worth going in to.
