About the Journal
The Fire Lookout Journal, published by the University of Idaho Library, is the first journal dedicated to examining fire lookouts within the human environment, offering a deeper understanding of their historical, cultural, and ecological significance. It brings together scholarly essays, interviews, conference proceedings, and reports spanning architecture, the humanities, geographic information systems, and natural resource management. By fostering a diverse readership, the journal aims to shape policies and management strategies for fire lookouts, preserving their legacy while guiding future implementation.
Established in 2025, The Fire Lookout Journal's first issue will present the proceedings of the National Interdisciplinary Lookout Conference (NILC) taking place in April, 2025 in Moscow, Idaho.
