(2) Please join the Facebook group ‘Industrial Archaeology’ (you don’t have to ‘friend’ anybody, or use Facebook for anything else).  But it’s a good place to launch a discussion forum.

(3) Sign up for Twitter, and watch for latest news on industrial archaeology and industrial heritage, found on the internet and elsewhere, by following @indus_heritage.

Conference on Agriculture and Food Heritage

November 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment

The Second International Conference on Agriculture and Food Heritage has finished in Cordoba, Argentina.

The next meeting will be held in 2011, in Valencia, Spain.

Many thanks are due to Laura Amarilla and her organising crew; to Luci, Gabriella, Gustavo, Alexandro and others who with much patience and good humour helped me understand at least some of what was being said; and to Domingo who translated my presentation so that the rest could understand what I was trying to say.

Geosites conference, Sardinia

November 21, 2008 · Comments Off

Many thanks are due to the organisers of the Geosites and Industrial Archaeology Conference in Sardinia – for their hospitality and kindness, and for an interesting and well organised event. TICCIH was well represented, with seven members of the Board all seeming a bit surprised to see each other. Having arrived early, Thomas Schleper and I had the privilege of a tour of the Galleria Villamarina-Montepori lead and zinc mines, which were closed ten years ago, and then a trip to the old washing plant below the cliffs at Nebida, and the little harbour at Buggeru. Day One of the conference was held at the Serberiu Mine Museum, in Carbonia; and Day Two at the Mining School in Iglesias.

A selection of photographs can be seen on Picasa and a full report will appear in a forthcoming TICCIH Bulletin. The Sardininian Geopark has recently launched a web portal (though sadly at this time it is only in Italian).
