Publications Library
The Historic Towns and Villages Forum was formed following the alliance of the Historic Towns Forum (formerly the English Historic Towns Forum) and ASHTAV (the Association of Small Historic Towns and Villages).
Prior to this, The Historic Towns Forum created an extensive library of publications on the challenges and opportunities for historic places, from city centres to villages, heritage-led regeneration to housing growth, and all-important details for shopfront design. They are available to download below, and others may be available as hard copies only, and so please contact us to find out more.
ASHTAV’s main method of communication with members was through its magazine, with nearly 30 magazines published between 1997 and 2016. There is a wealth of information and know-how to be found in the back issues, which are available further down this page in reverse date order.
The HTF publications are listed under categories:
Conservation Practice
Streets, Traffic and Townscape
ASHTAV Magazines
