The projected list of future themes for the IHBC’s renowned house journal, Context, is available on-line, at LINK, to encourage members and non-members to plan, offer or suggest relevant articles and themes.
Context has always served as an essential reference and forum for conservation professionals. Now, with complete issues of Context available on-line as ‘flip-books’ from as early as March 2002, and with the helpful on-line search facility covering its entire history, Context is also one of the most valuable and user-friendly on-line research tools for the wider built, heritage and historic environment sectors.
Fiona Newton, IHBC Projects Officer, and Acting Chair of the IHBC’s Editorial Board for Context, said: ‘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, so we’re always open to suggestions on how we can best support our members.’
2012 themes are projected as follows:
Interiors – March 2012; Copy deadline: 16:01:12
Transport – May 2012; Copy deadline: 19:03:12
Sport July – 2012; Copy deadline 14:05:12
