Industrial Archaeology Review

Industrial Archaeology Review aims to publish research in industrial archaeology, which is defined as a period study embracing the tangible evidence of social, economic and technological development in the period since industrialisation, generally from the early-18th century onwards. It is a peer-reviewed academic journal, with scholarly standards of presentation, yet seeks to encourage submissions from both amateurs and professionals which will inform all those working in the field of current developments.

Industrial Archaeology Review is the journal of the Association for Industrial Archaeology. Published twice a year, the focal point and common theme of its contents is the surviving evidence of industrial activity. 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 much 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 membership of its Editorial Board reflects these aims.

- Articles cover the technological, archaeological, historical, geographical,
  environmental, social and architectural aspects of the subject.

- Book reviews provide a critical appraisal of the latest publications.

- Abstracts keep the reader informed of matters of interest to industrial
  archaeologists appearing in local, national and specialist journals.
