Textile History

TEXTILE HISTORY, like the Pasold Research Fund itself, is dedicated to the study of all aspects of textile and dress history. Interdisciplinary in approach, international in scope and covering all periods of history, this peer-reviewed journal, published continuously since 1969, serves as a forum in which scholars and practitioners from many disciplines share their work, throwing new light on the past, exploring emerging trends and technologies, and developing the study of society through textiles.
 
Mixing critical analysis, archival research, rich descriptions and fresh insights into cultural phenomenon, TEXTILE HISTORY is known as the journal of record for the economic, social and cultural history of textiles; the material culture of cloth and other fabrics;  technological development and innovation; design and the history of dress and adornment; domestic and symbolic textiles and other textile uses, including the exhibition, conservation and interpretation of historical and anthropological textiles and clothing, from prehistory to the present.

TEXTILE HISTORY is published by Taylor & Francis for the Pasold Research Fund twice yearly, in May and November, with occasional special issues. Reflecting the Pasold Research Fund’s commitment to quality, art and design, the journal is printed on art paper with numerous illustrations in full colour. Textile History is published on-line as well as in print. All content is available on the journal’s web-site, including many articles that are on Open Access or available free of charge: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ytex20/current

Subscription information can be found on the journal web-site: https://www.tandfonline.com/toc/ytex20/current
