- Abstract
The policies, opportunities, and problems facing those interested in identifying, retaining and interpreting science heritage as part of our cultural landscape, are in many ways similar to those associated with conserving industrial and engineering heritage. This presentation explores the differences and similarities between science heritage and industrial and engineering heritage; the problems such sites and objects may pose, that are often different to the conservation of buildings; and the lessons that have been learnt from engineering heritage that might be applied to managing science heritage. Examples will be used to illustrate some of these parallels, some of the differences, some of the dilemmas, and some of the successful and unsuccessful outcomes.
