Sources
The material presented on this site is based upon research conducted across a wide range of sources, including newspaper archives, digital libraries, specialist collections, and other publicly accessible repositories. The list of resources continues to grow as additional material is identified and examined.
Information is also obtained from private archives and personal collections made available by researchers, historians, collectors, and enthusiasts. Such collections often contain unique documents, correspondence, photographs, and other material of historical interest.
In many instances, these archives include private or unpublished material that cannot be reproduced or made publicly available. Nevertheless, where permission has been granted by the owners, relevant historical information derived from such sources may be incorporated into articles and research published on this site.
If you are aware of archives, collections, or other resources containing rare material relating to billiards or snooker that are not currently listed here, please contact us.
