Welcome to the new Costume and Textiles Spotlight!

This page is devoted to our expanding collection of books and journals in Studies in the History of Costume and Textiles, which includes two leading journals in the field; Costume (Journal of the Costume Society) and Textile History (Journal of the Pasold Research Fund). Also available from Maney Publishing are Bibiliographies and Special Publications from the Costume Society and the Pasold Studies in Textile History book series.
Maney has been at the forefront of the transition to electronic publishing in the humanities. Both Costume and Textile History are available online as part of an institutional subscription and Maney is actively addressing the library and consortium market through its MORE journals collection.

Costume Society Publications
The Costume Society was formed in 1965 to promote the study and preservation of significant examples of historic and contemporary costume. This embraces the documentation of surviving examples and the study of decorative arts allied to the history of dress, as well as literary and pictorial sources.

Pasold Research Fund Publications
The Pasold Research Fund was established in 1964 by Eric W. Pasold OBE, whose special interest was the history of knitting. Its work was developed and extended by Kenneth G. Ponting as Research Director from 1967 to 1983, and by his successor Negley B. Harte who was Director from 1983 to 1997. The Fund’s field of interest now covers the study of the history of textiles in all their aspects – embracing the economic and social history of textiles, their technological development, design and conservation, as well as the history of dress, and other uses of textiles. The activities of the Fund fall into three main categories: sponsoring publications, organizing conferences, and awarding grants for research. The Pasold Research Fund is a registered charity (no.234298).
