This bonus episode of 'Rugby Reloaded' talks about the 'Life Without League: Rugby at the Time of Coronavirus' project with Dr Victoria Dawson. She started the project to encourage people to keep diaries during the extraordinary times we currently live in. We discuss the importance of diaries for historians of the game, how they help us reconstruct the past, how we should look at the history of rugby league, and of course, why you should keep a diary!

To take part in ‘Life Without League’ go to the website here. If you want to find out more about the ‘Rugby League Women Going To Wembley, 1950-1975’ the project’s Twitter feed is here and you can find its webpage here. You can also find Victoria’s article on the trailblazing 1953 women’s rugby league match in Marsh & Quay in the September 2013 issue of Forty-20 magazine and her article on Hull rugby league pioneer Kay Ibbetson is in the book 13 Inspirations.
