\"Context<\/a>The IHBC has launched the next stage of its online posting of the complete issues of Context<\/em>, the historic environment practitioner\u2019s best source for accessible expertise in contemporary conservation, as Context<\/em> issues 21-44 are now online, covering the period from Autumn 1988 to December 1994.<\/h3>\n

IHBC Director Se\u00e1n O\u2019Reilly said: \u2018For many IHBC members our Context<\/em> journal is one of their institute\u2019s most important contributions to knowledge.\u00a0 It offers both specialists and \u2013 as Wikipedia testifies \u2013 non-specialists, an expert and extremely accessible resource on all aspects of the diverse and interdisciplinary practice of built and historic environment conservation.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u2018Issues 21 to 44 take us from the days of Context as the ACO\u2019s \u2018Newsletter\u2019, in March 1989, to a publication clearly recognisable as the predecessor of the IHBC\u2019s journal Context<\/em>, with Number 44, from December 1994, covering such practical matters as the challenges of listing modern buildings, and cast-iron shopfronts in Darlington!<\/p>\n

These also as take us through some of the early history of the discipline, as members grapple with concerns that still resonate:<\/p>\n
