The East Midlands Industrial Archaeology Conference holds Heritage Days every six months which are open to anyone with an interest in the subject. The first conference was held in 1970 with the intent of enabling industrial archaeologists in the East Midlands to meet in different locations to consider topics of mutual interest.
No formal organisation exists; the sponsoring bodies are:
Derbyshire Archaeological Society (DAS)
Leicestershire
Industrial History Society
(LIHS)
North
East Derbyshire Industrial Archaeology Society (NEDIAS)
Northamptonshire Industrial Archaeology Group (NIAG)
Railway
and Canal Historical Society (RCHS), East Midlands Group
Society for Lincolnshire History and Archaeology (SLHA)
