Working Lives:
Industrial Archaeology Workshop 2006

On the 5th May, in recognition of the National Trust’s theme for the 2006 Heritage Festival, the Heritage Branch ran a half-day workshop to promote the community benefits of industrial archaeology, and to demonstrate ways of enhancing community access to, and information about, industrial archaeology.

Some of the key speakers at the workshop have provided copies of their addresses (and further papers will be added as available). Papers may be quoted with appropriate attribution to the speaker and the event.
