In 2005, July 8-10, NAMHO (the British/Irish based National Association of
Mining History Organisations) will be holding its annual conference in the
south-east of England, at Dorking in Surrey. The venue, close to cross
channel links and major regional airports, provides an ideal opportunity to
bring together mining historians from across Europe.
As part of the conference it is intended to hold a seminar on 'The Common
Aspects of European Mining History'. The seminar would include perhaps six
papers on aspects of mining history which are not confined by national
borders and reflect a common interest in mining be it for metals, coal or
stone. There will be the opportunity to network and establish working
relationships with other mining historians from across the continent.
If you are interested in attending please contact me, Peter Claughton
<[log in to unmask]>, at the earliest opportunity. If you wish to
present a paper please provide a short abstract and brief biographical
details. The language for the conference will be English but we hope to
provide facilities for presentations in other languages within the seminar.
Peter
