The Historic Environment: Policy & Practice

This journal publishes articles pertaining to the investigation, conservation and management of the historic environment. It can be accessed through Taylor & Francis Online, an academic publisher.

The journal forms an essential reading for all archaeological practitioners, and those involved in building conservation - contractors, consultants, curators, researchers, students and fieldworkers - both professional and voluntary. It cuts across organizational divisions to identify themes which are of concern and interest to all practitioners. It attempts to demonstrate best practice and appropriate methods, and the enhancement of technical and professional skills. This journal presents studies that feature the political, legal, economic, cultural, environmental, social and educational contexts, alongside academic frameworks of research involved in the historic environment. The journal also includes studies that investigate relationships between historic sites and past and future environmental change.
