| Abstract: | For over 70 issues between 1979 and 2006 the Planning History Bulletin was a key communications initiative of the Planning History Group and sustained by its transformation into the International Planning History Society (IPHS) from 1993. It played a vital role in keeping members, and others who happened upon it, apprized of current happenings in the planning history world through notices of forthcoming events, reports on conferences and workshops, new publications, short research articles, and general group business. Renamed Planning History from 1988, it appeared three times a year in testimony to the diligence of a succession of editors cajoled by Gordon Cherry into the role with several subsequently springboarded into key roles with Planning Perspectives. Remarkably the Bulletin was published alongside Planning Perspectives for two decades until 2006 when financial drivers and a changing academic publishing culture saw it subsumed within what last editor Mark Clapson dubbed 'its larger sibling' as the IPHS Section (now Connexions). This paper briefly recounts the history over nearly three decades of what remains a valuable resource. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
