With changes in technology and the global distribution of industrial production continuing to reshape our world, this is an exciting moment to examine the impact that industry has had on our society. And as the direct experience of living and working with industry becomes, for many people, an increasingly distant one, this compact but comprehensive course on industrial heritage and the techniques of industrial archaeology will enable you to understand and appreciate the artefacts, buildings, settlements, and landscapes it has left us and the ways developed to protect and explain them for the future. As well as a key resource for studying our past, industrial heritage assets are important to sustain and develop contemporary communities, as we shall discover during the following months. Through a varied selection of readings and assignments, we will explore these questions and the lively debates around industrial conservation, museums, interpretation, reuse, and tourism.

Description

Participants will start the course online by learning about theoretical frameworks as they relate to conservation, interpretation, and management planning of industrial heritage. During the week of April 1-5, 2019, participants will have the opportunity to work in teams on a project at St. Albert’s Grain Elevator Park (Alberta, Canada). Please be advised that attending residency week is required for successful completion of the course.

This training makes participants familiar with the principle characteristics of the industrial heritage and the array of tools and techniques used for its study, care, and use. The practical application of techniques in the analysis and documentation of industrial sites is a fundamental aspect of industrial heritage education, and beside the online component of the course, participation in one-week in residence project forms a central part of the training.


Instructor

James Douet will teach the course both online and in person during the residency week.
