On November 14th representatives of industrial and technical heritage
associations of France, Spain, Greece, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, The
Netherlands and Germany unanimously adopted the statutes, aims and
objectives of the "European Federation of Associations of Industrial and
Technical Heritage" (E-FAITH). A number of organisations from other
countries were not able to come to the meeting, but they sent messages of
support and they certainly will join E-FAITH in the future.
The new federation will promote co-operation and networking between non
profit associations involved in the study of and research in, the
recording, conservation, development and management, and interpretation of
Industrial and Technical Heritage. The scope of the Federation's activities
will embrace the European's countries.
The following board was elected:
chairman : Joan Munt (Catalan Association for Industrial Archaeology, Spain)
members : Jürgen Berger (Germany), Adriaan Linters (Belgium), Paul Saulter
(United Kingdom), Jurrie Van Dalen (Netherlands) and Evangelia A. Varrella
(Greece)
The meeting also discussed future gatherings (e.g. in Greece and the UK in
2000) and activities.
The meeting also agreed upon a proposal to launch a campaign for an
European Industrial and Technical Heritage Year. The text of a memorandum
was adopted; it is now available in English, French, German, Spanish,
Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Catalan, Esperanto and ... Latin (E-FAITH is
looking for volunteers who are willing to translate the text in other
languages).
E-FAITH asks all European associations to support the campaign. They can do
so by endorsing the memorandum: copy the text on your letterhead, undersign
and send this document to the campaign secretariat, now housed with the
Flemish Association for Industrial Archaeology (regional co-ordination
centers will soon be set up in different countries)
The information on E-FAITH and the text of the memorandum is now available
on the website of the Flemish Association for Industrial Archaeology at the
following page :
