Membership

Some of the facilities and services the AIA provides for its members are:

• Industrial Archaeology Review, the world's leading IA journal, published twice yearly.
• IA News, a quarterly magazine containing information on current industrial archaeology events and news throughout the country.
• The Annual Conference, a popular get-together for all the members. Held in a different part of the country each year, this consists of a weekend conference complemented by an additional programme over several days of field trips and informative lectures. Detailed gazetteers of sites in the area of the conference are produced most years and supplied free to members.
• Overseas Field Weeks, organised and guided by people with considerable experience of foreign tours.
• The Ironbridge Weekend. Workshops and discussions about issues and problems common to societies and professionals working in the field of industrial archaeology.
• Other conferences address specific interests and problems relating to the industrial heritage.
• AIA Awards, to encourage excellence in industrial archaeology.
• The AIA is a valuable forum for amateur groups and professional bodies working in the broad field of industrial archaeology.

But more importantly than the above, the support our members give us enables the AIA to continue its work in supporting and encouraging all aspects relating to our industrial heritage. We cannot do all we do, promoting IA at all levels - national and local - encouraging research, recording, conservation, preservation, without our members' help and support. Do come and join us.

Membership is open to individuals (sole, joint or student) and to societies. We hope to have on-line facilities to join shortly.

Our institutional subscriptions, for libraries, universities and similar institutions who wish to subscribe to Industrial Archaeology Review, are managed by W S Maney & Son Ltd, Hudson Road, Leeds LS9 7DL. Please contact them for details.
