A byline from the archive. Bylines are reproduced as the magazine printed them, and every story a contributor signed stays live at its original address. Where a biography ran with the story it appears below; where the magazine printed none, the record is the work itself. Contributors to an annual are a mix of staff editors, industry practitioners writing on their own projects and freelance reporters, and the magazine did not distinguish between them on the page — the section a story ran in is usually the better guide to how it was commissioned.

The contributor index holds 31 names and 143 signed stories. A byline page exists here because the magazine printed one, and it keeps its own address whether or not a signed story survived into the snapshot: a link made to it years ago still resolves. The annuals credited staff editors, practitioners writing about their own projects and freelance reporters in the same type, so the department a story ran in is usually the better guide to how it was commissioned than the byline is.

The list below is the whole of it — there is no second page and nothing is held back. Each headline keeps the address it was first published at, so a link made to one of these stories years ago still lands on the story itself. The sections are an index laid over the archive, not a rewrite of it, and the counts printed beside each entry are recounted every time the site is built rather than typed in once and left to drift out of date.

A note on navigation. Every story here can also be reached from the issue it ran in, from the contributor who wrote it and, where the text names a practice, from that practice's page in the firm directory. Those four routes lead to the same file at the same address; none of them is a copy. If a link from elsewhere on the web points at an older form of one of these addresses, it still arrives, because the old address was kept and pointed here rather than retired.
