In celebration of SAH's fourth annual virtual conference, SAH and UC Press have instated free public access to the September 2024 issue of the Journal of the Society of Architectural Historians (Vol 83 No 3) through October 15, 2024. Readers may explore lessons and mysteries from the past of our built environment through scholarly articles, essays, reviews of architectural books and exhibitions, and more.
Active Society members always enjoy a complimentary subscription to the Journal and its extensive archive, but
for a limited time everyone can experience how historians connect the elements of constructed places with political, cultural, and economic issues of the relevant era and today. We encourage readers to share this free issue widely with colleagues, students, and friends.

to access the free content and share it with your network.
Published since 1941, JSAH is a leading English-language journal on the history of the built environment, featuring topics of study from all periods of history and all parts of the world. Issues include four to five peer-reviewed articles; reviews of recent books, exhibitions, films, and other media; a variety of editorials and opinion pieces designed to place the discipline of architectural history within a larger intellectual context; and a JSAH roundtable – a series of short essays that allows for a range of contributors to explore new research directions through a variety of lenses. JSAH is published quarterly in print and online.
