- Abstract
There is a looseness of terminology in the fields of engineering heritage, industrial heritage, and industrial archaeology, which partly clouds the role of the engineer. The use of these terms, the relationship of engineering heritage to the national estate, and the role of the engineer in establishing engineering significance and helping to resolve development and conservation conflict are addressed. The protection of moveable engineering items is discussed and the need for engineers to understand and to become involved in the processes of conservation planning is stressed as the most effective means of identifying and conserving the engineering heritage.
