Library & Information History (LIH)

Library & Information History is the journal of the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals, and the only British periodical devoted exclusively to the history of libraries and librarianship and to the burgeoning field of information history. The journal publishes works about all subjects and all periods related to the history of libraries and librarianship, and to the history of information. Library & Information History (formerly Library History) was established in 1967 under the aegis of the Library History Group of the Library Association, now the Chartered Institute of Library & Information Professionals. It is the only British periodical devoted exclusively to the history of libraries and librarianship and to the burgeoning field of information history. Throughout history, libraries have been the repositories of knowledge of all kinds. In recent times library history has been enhanced by the flourishing scholarly interest in provenance research and the history of reading. As we have entered the information age, these histories have broadened into a history of information, with historians reconsidering the fundamental concepts and manifestations of information in society. Library & Information History is a fully-refereed journal publishing articles of a high academic standard from international authors on all subjects and all periods relating to the history of libraries and librarianship and to the history of information, in its broadest sense. Issues include substantial articles as well as book reviews, occasional surveys of recent publications, and guides to relevant sources. Library & Information History is a journal for anyone interested in the social, cultural and intellectual history of libraries and of information.
