Vernacular Architecture

The Group produces a refereed journal of national standing - Vernacular Architecture - the authoritative voice on the subject. It ranges over the whole field, nationally and internationally, reporting the results of recent research or reconsidering accepted views. It carries numerous reviews and also includes annual lists of buildings for which tree-ring dates have been obtained.

All members automatically receive a copy of Vernacular Architecture and are eligible for free online access to current and back issues via the Taylor & Francis website.

Some articles become available online to members before publication of the printed volume. Please note that in order to see new articles, when you have reached the Taylor & Francis Vernacular Architecture page by using the login link above, you have to click on the 'Latest articles' button on the left hand side of the page.
