EMIAC 99 – East Midlands Industrial Archaeology Conference

The East Midlands Industrial Archaeology Conference is open to anyone with an interest in the subject. Our first Industrial Heritage Day was held in 1970 with the idea of enabling those interested to meet in different locations and learn about the variety of the industrial heritage of the region. There is no formal organisation, the participating societies taking it in turn to organise the event.
