Journals & Publications Guide

Academic Journals

While there are many journals that publish work related to architectural history (including journals of disciplines such as art history, geography, and anthropology), this section serves as an introduction to some major journals specific to architectural history. This is not only to help researchers seeking publication, but also readers seeking to discriminate between published work.

Firstly, the three most internationally prominent academic societies of the discipline – the SAH, the SAHGB, and the EAHN (see Field Index for details) – all publish major (arguably the flagship) journals. These are:

Architectural History

Published since xxxx by the Society of Architectural Historians of Great Britain (SAHGB) in association with the University of Cambridge. The oldest running journal on the subject. Publishes original, in-depth research on all periods and places.
