The Furniture History Society Newsletter is issued quarterly to all members.

The Newsletter contains short articles of scholarly interest, details on forthcoming events and other relevant items.

The search functionality on this page can be used to search for content within lead articles and book reviews. The search will return all Newsletters where that search or keyword term is included. NB Some copy including Event Reports is redacted for security reasons.

The Newsletters currently available on this database cover the period from 2007, subject to a one-year rolling wall. During the Covid-19 pandemic, the Society took the extraordinary decision to dispense with this rolling wall but as of May 2021, reverted to normal practice. 

If you are a member and wish to consult a particular piece of Newsletter content unavilable on this search facility please email website@furniturehistorysociety.org.
