Current Call

Fabrications is the refereed journal of the Society of Architectural Historians, Australia and New Zealand (SAHANZ). Established in 1989, it is devoted to scholarly publication in the field of architectural history. The journal’s contents reflect the wide interests of the Society’s diverse membership. It publishes papers on a wide range of themes, but especially on the architectural, urban and landscape history of Australia, New Zealand, the South Pacific and South-East Asia. The journal is published for the Society by Taylor & Francis, with each annual volume containing three issues.

For further information on Fabrications and to review past issues, see the Taylor and Francis website.

Reports and Reviews

The journal does not publish unsolicited reviews. All reviews will be commissioned by the journal. We invite members of the SAHANZ community to contact us directly to suggest ideas for reports about symposia and other research events, as well about exhibitions, collections and other resources of interest to the membership of SAHANZ. These can be addressed directly to the Reviews Editor.
