TEXTILE HISTORY

Textile History is an internationally recognized, peer-reviewed journal and one of the leading publications in its field. It is viewed as an important outlet for current research. It was launched in 1968 by the Pasold Research Fund as part of its policy of fostering the publication of research on textile history. As with the work of the Fund as a whole, the journal takes a very broad and inclusive definition of textile history to include the economic, social and cultural history of textiles, their technological development, design, conservation, the history of dress and other uses of textiles, from prehistory to the present. This includes studies arising from the exhibition, preservation and interpretation of historical textiles and clothing. In addition to research articles the journal regularly publishes Exhibition Reviews and Object Lessons: the former offers important discussion of major public exhibitions of dress and textiles, whilst the latter illustrates the ways in which the study of objects can inform analysis in scholarly research. The Research Notes section is intended for short discussion of research developments that do not yet warrant a major article. Textile History also publishes book reviews covering a wide cross section of books from all parts of the world, dealing with all aspects of textile and clothing history. Submissions from both established and early career scholars are welcome.

The journal is published twice yearly, in May and November. Thirty-eight volumes have so far appeared. To do justice to the Fund’s interest in textile art, design and conservation, the journal is printed on art paper with numerous illustrations. From 2006 these have been reproduced in full colour. The journal is published by Maney Publishing on behalf of the Pasold Research Fund. Maney Publishing of Leeds is well known for the quality of their work and have a high reputation in publishing historical and textile journals. From 1983 until 2002 Textile History was edited by Professor Stanley Chapman of the University of Nottingham.
