The Sporting Globe and Other Compilations

Another housekeeping post, about new additions to the archives that some people may have missed if the don't follow me, or use, Twitter.

I have added yearly compilations of the soccer pages in The Sporting Globe from 1955-1969. This covers the period from when the paper's coverage on Trove ends (1954) to when the amount of Sunday games, and the paper shedding more and more sports to focus mainly on racing and Aussie Rules football, sees the game's coverage decline (1970's). This archive now has it's own dedicated page here.

Another archive with it's own dedicated page now is the Neue Welt compilations archive. Again, this is a yearly compilation of local soccer pages. Neue Welt was a German-Australian publication, and the content is in German, mostly written by Fritz Schwab, father of future The Age and Soccer Action journalist Laurie Schwab. The Neue Welt archive can be found here.

Also new is an archive of Junior Roo, Il Globo's junior soccer supplement. It can be found here.

At this stage yearly Il Globo compilations are housed in the History Documents page, but they will get their own page when a few more are added. This content is in Italian, unlike the Junior Roo supplements which are in English.

Also new to the History Documents page, but with a view to getting it's own page once more compilations are, err, compiled is the Sunday Observer compilation for 1977.

I will probably end up doing Neue Welt compilations for it's entire run on the SLV microfilms. With Junior Roo the microfilms end at 1994, then I will start working back until it commences, adding the Il Globo local soccer pages along the way. Not sure how far I'll get with the Sunday Observer, a lot of distractions going through that newspaper.
