Introduction

Front cover of the VAG Bibliography

The on-line version of the Bibliography of the Vernacular Architecture Group contains almost 12,500 references. Of these, 7,400 are taken from Volumes I through IV of the printed bibliographies, covering sources published up to 1994. Added to these are 3,200 covering the period up to the end of 2006 (identified as Volume 5; downloadable in pdf format from the VAG website), another 800 up to 2012 (volume 6), and 1,000 up to 2020 (volume 7); volumes 6 and 7 are only available via this on-line searchable database.

Entries are of three main types: Papers in journals; Papers in edited volumes [e.g. conference proceedings]; Books. A very few theses were listed in the first published volume and we have retained these, but more recent theses have not been searched for or included.

The Bibliography may be browsed by subject area or searched by keyword, author, geographic region and journal or any combination of these.

Vernacular Architecture Group

The Vernacular Architecture Group was formed in 1952 to further the study of lesser traditional buildings. The Group has over 600 members, including some 50 overseas members, and a number of affiliated groups and exchanging societies. Membership is open to anyone interested in vernacular architecture. Members are involved in all aspects of the recording and study of vernacular buildings including detailed local or regional surveys, studies of particular types of buildings, building materials and techniques, documentary evidence and principles of development.
