The Blueseum has been created, designed and filled to this point in time by those behind some of the names better known as Carlton Football Club online contributors, including FootyGeek and Mike & Dan, plus a band of willing volunteers. That’s right – everything in this site has been done by passionate Carlton fans, and has been provided as a gift to the Club. Thousands of hours of programming, research and data entry – using information provided by Club Historian Stephen Williamson - has been completed to make the Blueseum a fully functional database of all moments of history of the Carlton Football Club. From our 1906 Premiership team, to the Bloodbath Grand Final of 1945, to the 1999 Preliminary, and players Doull, Vallence, Kenny, Jesaulenko, the Gillespies and McGregor and up to our most recent debutante Luke Blackwell… the Blueseum covers it all.
There are many highlights in the Blueseum, including hundreds of player pictures and a ladder for every single year of VFL / AFL action. But perhaps the greatest highlight is the Locker Room where using pictures of the actual Carlton lockers you can link to a biography of every Blue player ever from their respective jumpers.
The Carlton Football Club would formally like to thank the following people for their efforts – on an entirely volunteer basis for the benefit of the Club - in building the Blueseum into the finest AFL historical website on the internet and for providing this information to the Carlton Football Club and for use by visitors to the official Carlton Website:
Jamie Sanderson, Michael Olsen, Stephen Williamson, Anthony de Bolfo, Allison Olsen, Dan Jago, Steve Atkinson, Tim Long and Warren Tapner
When you visit the Blueseum Site you will see it is not yet complete. Blueseum will continue to grow and provide Carlton supporters with more and more information about our great club. To do this will require supporters providing information. It needs your memories of past players, games and seasons. It needs you. Whether you can remember the best players, remember the weather conditions, or you even played on the day – the Blueseum is a canvas that needs to be filled with the memories of our proud Club.
Over time, we will be seeking ways to expand the Blueseum and welcome any suggestions that our readers have on making it bigger & better. In particular, we will shortly be creating a series of sections of the site to accommodate your feedback. So log on, have a look, and revisit the amazing history of the Carlton Football Club. Remember logging on to Carlton’s online history is easy, simply go to Carlton’s history page on the official Carlton Website and follow the link to the Blueseum. Carlton’s history page will give you a snapshot of our great history and the Blueseum will give you the details in what is a virtual museum of Carlton’s history.
