About
The AIA promotes the study, preservation and presentation of industrial archaeology and heritage. For the last three centuries industry has had a major influence on the society, environment and landscape in which we live and its remains provide a link with the past that can also serve the future. The AIA brings together groups and individuals with an interest and expertise in identifying, recording, preserving and presenting the remains of our industrial past.

What we do

Uniting individuals, local societies, academics and field professionals we:

-Pool knowledge and set standards for recording
-Represent industrial archaeology by membership of national and international bodies
-Support local and special interest societies
-Monitor planning applications to alter or demolish industrial sites and buildings

And through our programme of awards and grants we:

-Sponsor research and reward excellence
-Assist preservation and restoration
-Encourage research and publication
