Keeping in contact after Cordoba?
November 7, 2009 · Leave a Comment
(1) Please join TICCIH, and get involved with the one international organisation that speaks for industrial heritage. Remember – TICCIH acts as the Scientific Committee of ICOMOS on industrial heritage.
(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 or #indus_heritage.
(4) Send any contributions (project news, photographs, sites at risk) for this page to industrialheritage@live.co.za

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.
