eabh bulletin

The bulletin is a forum for ‘the curious’ and new from eabh members’ archives and research related to their institutions’ history.  The bulletin promotes and writes about your topics, projects,  events, symposia, collections, exhibitions and new books.

The latest series  focuses on ‘Finance & Architecture’, an association that is as old as the profession of banking itself. The great banking houses of Europe and North America have long sought to associate their banking prowess with representative architecture. The storied and diverse history of banks and their buildings is intimately connected to the development of  the cities in which these banks have emerged and gone on to flourish.

Forthcoming editions of the bulletin will put a spotlight on ‘Finance & Photography’, ‘Finance, Machines & Technology’ and ‘Finance, Posters & Advertisements’.

It is easy to contribute! Please be in touch via email for details.

Architecture & Finance Vol 1

Most financial institutions’ buildings are landmarks. Placed in the heart of city centres, they occupy prominent spaces in our urban environments. This volume aims to be a starting point. We want to start a collection of cases and stories of financial institutions – in this case, European financial institutions – in order to get a sense of the bigger picture: how does finance change the way we work? How does finance change the way we live? Or is it occasionally the other way around: can the way we live transform finance?
