Malcolm Shifrin inspired me to develop the Baths & Wash Houses Historical Archive as a consequence of seeing and enjoying his excellent research site VICTORIAN TURKISH BATHS: their origin, development, & gradual decline. A website for the exchange of information. www.victorianturkishbath.org

This has been a long standing project that is only now emerging in the form of this social history web site. I want to thank the following for their contributions to the collection of material and for the notes they have provided to inform the content.
