In publication since 1988, the research-focused mouthpiece of the Design History Society (DHS), the Journal of Design History (JDH) embraces the history of a range of design-related subjects, from furniture to product design, graphic design, craft, fashion, textiles, architectural interiors and exhibitions. Its orientation and reach are global. The Journal addresses the history of design from a humanities perspective primarily, but it also borrows methods from related fields including the social sciences, material culture studies and cultural studies. Having established design history as a discrete discipline, the JDH also aims to be of interest to historically aware and critically engaged design practitioners and educators. In-depth case-studies with a level of general appeal, as well as shorter pieces addressing museums and archives, and book reviews, are welcomed. In addition to the general issues, special issues focus on selected themes.
