Industrial Archaeology Review is the journal of the Association for Industrial Archaeology and aims to reflect what is happening in the industrial archaeological field. Information about the Association can be found at the end of this issue. The Review is published twice a year and is intended to provide a meeting point for a wide range of specialist interests within the broad definition of industrial archaeology. Articles cover the technological, archaeological, historical, geographical, social and architectural aspects of the subject, with the surviving evidence of industrial activity as the focal point and common theme. Emphasis is placed on the practical aspects of a subject in which fieldwork plays an essential part, including recording, surveying, excavation, interpretation, conservation and protective legislation. While deriving most of its material from within the British Isles, the journal aims to be international in its coverage of the subject, presenting material of relevance and value to those concerned with industrial archaeology throughout the world.

The Association for Industrial Archaeology
The Association was established in 1973 to promote the study of industrial archaeology and to encourage improved standards of recording, research, conservation and publication. It aims to support individuals and groups involved in the study and recording of past industrial activity and in the preservation of industrial monuments; to represent the interests of industrial archaeology at national level; to hold conferences and seminars and to publish the results of research. The majority of the membership reside in the United Kingdom but there are also many representatives of industrial archaeological organisations in Europe, Asia, Australasia and North America.
Organisation
The Association is a voluntary one which has a part-time Liaison Officer based at the School of Archaeology and Ancient History in the University of Leicester. Much of the administration is carried out by a Council of Management elected at the Annual General Meeting, which is traditionally held during the September Conference weekend. Day-to-day operations are overseen by an Executive Committee, consisting of the officers of the Association.
Co-operation
The AIA is the national organisation for industrial archaeology and maintains close contacts with both traditional archaeology and with those statutory organisations responsible for recording, preserving and funding Britain's historic monuments. Through its Council the AIA has contacts with The International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH), the Council for British Archaeology, the Royal Commissions on the Ancient and Historical Monuments of Scotland and Wales, Cadw, English Heritage, The National Trust, the Newcomen Society, the Trevithick Society, the Society for Post-Medieval Archaeology, the Institute of Field Archaeologists and the Historical Metallurgy Society.
