The
Essex Industrial Archaeology Group (EIAG) is a sub-group of the Essex Society
for Archaeology and History (ESAH) and was established to provide a way forward
for industrial archaeology in Essex, which previously lacked a society
dedicated to Essex Industrial Heritage. The aims of the group are to research
and record industries in Essex and their sites; publish reports on the work of
the Group; Initiate and support the preservation of important industrial sites,
buildings, artefacts and records; organise talks and visits to the many
archaeology and heritage sites in Essex, and to work in partnership with Essex
County Council, District Councils, amenity groups and others with an interest
in Essex's industrial past.
