Campaign for a
European Industrial and Technical Heritage Year

In november 1998 industrial heritage associations from different European countries and regions (Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom, Slovenia, Czechia,...) met in Barcelona to discuss bordercrossing co-operation and exchange of experiences and information. There was a large concensus on the proposal of the Flemish Association for Industrial Archaeology to launch the idea of an European Industrial and Technical Heritage Year.
The Memorandum was officially adopted by the European Federation of Industrial and Technical Heritage Associations (E-FAITH) on November 13th 1999, during its meeting in Poperinge.

As a first step one aims to rally as much as possible national, regional, local and thematic associations round a common Memorandum.

All associations are asked to have this memorandum approved by their board or general assembly, to copy the text on their letterhead and to send it duely undersigned (by at least two responsibles of the association) to :
