Apologies for cross-posting.
Fellow archaeologists,
I am writing to you about a session I am organizing
for the upcoming Society for Industrial Archeology
conference in NYC this June.
The session will be entitled "Ethical Responsibilities
of Industrial Archaeologists to Local Communities."
There will be a total of three papers presented on
the following topics:
Adaptive Reuse & Community Concerns (Julie Kloss)
Successful Examples of Community Outreach (Alicia
Valentino)
Responsibility to Communities With Toxic Wastes
(unknown)
I am soliciting an author for the final topic listed
above, or another appropriate topic regarding
ethics, industrial archaeologists, and communities.
For example, I hope to find someone with
experience
in toxic sites, such as Butte, MT, who could write on
how toxicity affected preservation or historic
development of the site. Other possibilities include
the collection of artifacts by community members
from abandoned industrial sites, the pros and cons
of public access issues for surrounding communities
to old industrial sites, and the issues involved in
hiring former miners or industrial workers as tour
guides at their former place of employment.
If anyone knows of such a person that would like to
participate in this session, could you forward this
message to them? Or if any of you would like to
contribute to this session, please contact me SOON.

Given Christmas break and everything, I've made a
slow start on this, but still feel as if it is
possible to organize everything before the deadline
for abstracts. A session abstract (by myself) and
individual paper abstracts (by each presenter) are
due together by the end of this month. Again, the
sooner we get in contact, the better.
I'm looking forward to the SIA meeting this summer
and hope that this session will stimulate some
discussion regarding ethical issues unique to
industrial archaeology.
Thank you,
Elizabeth Norris
