Committee

The International Federation on Construction History is formed to:

• provide a forum to enable co-operation between recognised Societies of Construction History;
• to recognise new societies;
• to organise the International Congresses on Construction History which occur every three years and move from place-to-place.

The Federation is run by a committee that consists of a representative from each of the constituent societies together with up to two co-opted members who are elected annually and who the committee consider may help in their aims.

The Committee for 2024 is:

• James W. P. Campbell Representative of the Construction History Society
• Santiago Huerta Representative of Sociedad Española de Historia de la Construcción (Spain)
• Robert Carvais Representative of Association francophone d’histoire de la construction (France)
• Benjamin Ibarra-Sevilla Representative of The Construction History Society of America (USA)
• Sabine Kuban Representative of Gesellschaft für Bautechnikgeschichte (Germany)
• Joao Mascarenhas-Mateus Representative of Sociedade Portuguesa De Estudos De História Da Construção (Portugal)

Two co-opted members for 2023-2024:
