We are currently seeking any memorabilia or photographs that members or supporters may have from the 1950s or early ‘60s for a heritage project covering the Corinthian-Casuals in the post-war era.
Our intention is to create an online archive and exhibition space that will enable us to permanently house club memorabilia for future generations. The internet allows us to present the club’s history in fresh and exciting ways and bring the story to football supporters of all ages around the world.
We recently won a £3,000 grant from TownsWeb Archiving, a company who scan documents, photographs and other published materials to create detailed digital versions that can be stored on the internet forever. We hope to use the grant to kick-start the process of archiving historic programmes, newsletters and photographs, which can form the centre-pieces of exhibitions.
We're beginning this process by seeking to borrow the artefacts that our members and supporters have from the 1950s and ‘60s, so that we can scan them digitally and curate an online exhibition to honour that important period in our history. If all goes well, we may even be able to curate a physical exhibition in a local museum space as well.
This is the period in which we returned to The Oval, played in the FA Amateur Cup final at Wembley, revived the Sheriff of London Shield fixture against Arsenal and Watford, and reached the FA Cup first round.
If you have any memorabilia from this era, please contact Dominic Bliss at [email protected], or by calling a committee member if you prefer to use the phone.
