World Squash Library Documents World Championships History

Following extensive research, comprehensive details of all of Squash's World Championships have now been archived by the World Squash Library and can be viewed at www.squashlibrary.info/world-championships

The 12 key World Championship compendia - including Men's, Women's and Junior Team & Individual championships, plus World Masters and also Doubles - have now been uploaded by the Library with the latest, the World Cup, added today.

For each event - dating back to their first editions - details include dates, venues, full results (via link to www.squashinfo.com ), programme covers, and for many a poster featuring all the winners.

"If researching World Championship history proves one thing it is that there is a need for our sport to preserve its history before more is lost!" said WSL founder Andrew Shelley. "Some early event individual match results do not seem to have been retained, good quality photos not existing, so these event archives can form the basis of an evolving reference as future events are added."

Over time, the Library will add others such as the World Universities, along with Regional Games and Championships, World and Commonwealth Games too.
