The working list of future themes for the IHBC’s renowned house journal, Context, now covers up to 2 years and is available on-line, at www.ihbc.org.uk/context.htm to encourage members and non-members to plan, offer or suggest relevant articles and themes.
Fiona Newton, IHBC Projects Officer and Chair of the IHBC’s Editorial Board, says: “Using themes in Context allows us to focus on a particular topic, but of course we usually carry more general and current articles in any issue. By planning the themes well in advance we hope potential authors will come to us with ideas for articles and themes, rather than feeling they could have had something to contribute after reading Context. This will make sure that Context will remain the most important tool in the kit of the conservation professional. Of course the themes are also subject to change if something needs more urgent airing, as we’ve done by including a special issue on Building Preservation Trusts for May 2010, so we’re always open to suggestions on how we can best support our members.”
