Notre Dame football history through archival images

Spanning Notre Dame football from its late-nineteenth-century campus beginnings to the present day, this hardcover visual history draws on photographs from the University of Notre Dame Archives, including previously unpublished images. Organized around coaches, players, fans, games, and venues, it uses captions and commentary to place each image within the program’s larger history. The selection also foregrounds sports photography itself: composition, lighting, and period-specific techniques are part of the book’s subject alongside the team’s traditions and landmark victories. At 272 pages, it offers a photographic record of how a college-football program and its surrounding fan culture have been documented across generations.

Expertly selected by Charles Lamb and Elizabeth Hogan, these breathtaking images capture the history of Notre Dame football--and of sports photography--from its beginnings in the late nineteenth century through today, with sections devoted to the coaches, players, fans, games, and venues. The photos are remarkable not only as historic artifacts, but as art, chosen for their striking composition, creative use of light, and unique photographic techniques. From the sport's humble origins on campus to legendary Fighting Irish victories, Lamb and Hogan reveal the stories behind the game through these rare images and engaging, informative commentary.

Compelling and unforgettable, Fighting Irish Football builds a special connection between today's fans and the generations of fans who came before, united by their love of Notre Dame.
