MERSEYSIDE INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE SOCIETY (MIHS)
MIHS is a friendly amateur society whose members share a common desire to find
out more about our industrial heritage, particularly that of Merseyside, its
products, remains, and the people involved. Formed in 1964 as the North West
Society for Industrial Archaeology and History, MIHS is amongst the oldest
societies of its kind in the country. We are affiliated to both the Council for
British Archaeology and the Association for Industrial Archaeology.
We run a winter programme of monthly lecture meetings plus a series of field
visits in the summer. This includes the May Long Weekend, this year in its 36th
edition, which has taken the society to a wide variety of venues all around
Britain.
All members receive a regular Bulletin. Unless otherwise stated, indoor meetings
are held at 7.00pm on Monday evenings at the Quaker Meeting House, 22 School
Lane, Liverpool L1 3BD.
Enquiries from intending new members are very welcome. Have a look at our
Contacts Page or, alternatively, just come along to any of the meetings shown on
the programme and introduce yourself to a member of the committee.
Our aims are:
-
to further interest in our Industrial Heritage
-
to study and record by written, photographic and any other means, the Industrial
remains and techniques of past technologies.
