- Abstract
In this paper an attempt is made to survey the development of industrial archaeology. The point of view of the presentation is predominantly British, both because this represents the limitations of my own involvement in the subject, and because the subject matter of the study of industrial archaeology has been until the quite recent past, mainly British. However, it can be useful in making an appraisal of the progress of industrial archaeology elsewhere, to have a clear understanding of what has happened in Britain, so that it is then possible to learn something from the achievements and the shortcomings of British experience.
