Industrial heritage is an important field in cultural heritage management, with a mature methodological base, a dynamic subject area and an exceptional social relevance to industrial and post-industrial societies. The fundamental concepts and approaches of heritage management are shared by the field of industrial heritage, but there are also interesting differences. These may include sources of significance, questions of scale and sustainability, technical challenges from unusual materials, issues around adaptation and re-purposing, and the particular challenges of interpretation and appreciation. This course makes students familiar with the principle characteristics of industrial heritage and the array of tools and techniques used in its study, care, and use.
