Editorial PolicyThe Journal of Design History plays an active role in the development of design historyby publishing new research, by providing a forum for dialogue and debate, and byaddressing current issues of interest.The Journal aims to help consolidate design history as a distinct discipline but it is notnarrowly specialist in content or sectarian in tone. The widespread recognition of thecultural significance and economic importance of design provides a broad base on whichto build and the Journal seeks to promote links with other disciplines exploring materialculture, such as anthropology, architectural history, art history, business history, crafthistory, cultural studies, design management studies, economic and social history, historyof science and technology, and sociology.The Journal carries regular book reviews; it also publishes surveys of resources fordesign history and reports on education initiatives in the field. From time to time theJournal publishes ‘special’ issues devoted to particular areas, periods or themes. Journalarticles are indexed in the Bibliography of the History of Art (BHA), The British HumanitiesIndex (BHI) and the International Bibliography of the Social Sciences (IBSS).The Journal welcomes contributions from scholars of all nationalities and from thoseworking in other disciplines, such as anthropology, history of technology, and economichistory, whose subjects of study overlap at significant points with those of designhistorians. The editors seek to encourage contributions on design in pre-industrialperiods in non-European societies, as well as on hitherto neglected or unfamiliar areasand topics. The views expressed are those of the authors.Note: The Journal is the journal of the Design History Society, which was founded in 1977to promote the study of the subject. The Society organizes study days and other events;it holds an annual conference and publishes a quarterly Newsletter. The Society hasmembers throughout the world.
