Construction
History, the
journal of the Construction History Society, is a peer-reviewed scholarly
journal which is published annually. It is the leading international journal in its field, and enjoys a high
reputation in the diversity, breadth and detail of its coverage. The
journal covers all aspects of construction history and recent papers have
ranged from buildings in early China to construction processes in the modern
USA, and from nineteenth century British bridge building to the use of concrete
in India and Mexico. The scope
embraces both technical and non-technical aspects of construction history.
Among technical issues covered in Construction History are construction
materials and components, buildings, infrastructure, building form,
construction processes and plant. Non-technical aspects of construction include
funding, organisations, company history, labour, education and historical
sources. The journal does not include papers about the refurbishment of
existing buildings or engineering structures. Each
volume of around 150 pages contains up to six or seven generously illustrated
papers by authoritative writers. Each volume also contains informative abstracts of papers in periodicals
and other literature. Future volumes will also include a list of recent book
titles.
Book
reviews will now be published only in the Construction History Magazine which
appears 2-3 times a year.
