The Furniture History Society is based in London, with close connections at the
Victoria & Albert Museum. It was founded by a number of art and antique dealers. Since 1965, the society's annual journal ″Furniture History" has published recent findings on British and continental European, Asian and American furniture. The Furniture History Society is governed by a council elected by its members, which is supported by specialist officers. Among its longtime leaders were
Nicholas Goodison, in whose honour it published a
Festschrift, and
Christopher Gilbert. In September 2016, the Furniture History Society created the British and Irish Furniture Makers Online (BIFMO) with the
University of London's
Institute of Historical Research (IHR). The initial phase of this database went online at the end of September 2017. ==See also==
