Industrial archaeology helps to tell the story of the Industrial
Revolution, which was a turning point in world history.  Our
first offering on The Archaeology Channel, our public-education
streaming-media website (www.archaeologychannel.org), relating to
industrial archaeology is the video, That Red Salt from Kanawha,
contributed by The Walkabout Company of Wheeling, West Virginia.

Salt, a highly valued commodity in ancient and historic times, is
an abundant resource in the Kanawha Valley of West Virginia. Salt
production along the Kanawha River grew from a small cottage
industry to a huge commercial enterprise, exemplifying the
Industrial Revolution as it took place in the United States.
Co-presented by the Institute for the History of Technology and
Industrial Archaeology, West Virginia University, this video
presents a fascinating account of the ingenuity and technological
advances accompanying this industrial development from the 18th
through the 20th centuries and provides good context for ongoing
industrial archaeology in the region.

These and other programs are available on TAC for your use and
enjoyment. If you feel that this project is a worthy endeavor,
please participate in the Membership and Underwriting programs
described on our website at www.archaeologychannel.org. Your help
will allow us to continue and enhance this nonprofit
public-education service.  We also welcome new content partners
as we reach out to the world community.
