Updated Journal and Newsletter Indexes

The indexes and the webpages for the Journal articles, Newsletter research articles, book reviews and obituaries have been brought up to date. 349 out of 368 Journal articles and 977 of 1078 Newsletter pieces are now on the website, the balance representing the Society’s last three years’ publications, that will be released in due course.

A consolidated Excel index to the Society’s Journal, Newsletter research articles and event reports, book reviews and obituaries may be downloaded here. The downloadable index contains additional coding by period, geographical region and furniture type which is not displayed in the tables on this website. These fields can be used to filter and explore the Society’s published material by subject, as well as by author, title, publication year and issue or volume.

I am grateful to Dr Adam Bowett for his kind assistance in devising the coding categories and for diligently combing through the Journal articles and coding them. I am grateful to ChatGPT for assisting me in applying and checking the coding across more than 1,000 Newsletter articles.
