I don't know how successful your attempts to boost SIA membership were
at SHA. I suspect that the prominence given the SIA display, shoe
horned between a couple of other displays and in relative darkness, is
somewhat indicative of its relative significance. As I gave an
industrial archaeology presentation at SHA, I obviously think that
industrial archaeology is important and should play a greater role.
As an aside, how much overlap is there with nautical archaeology
organizations?
