6.10 Association for Industrial Archaeology
The AIA award programme aims to enhance the understanding of industrial
archaeology and to encourage high standards in fieldwork and publications. 
Annual awards are made in the following categories: 
AIA Dorothea Award for Conservation
The AIA, in conjunction with Dorothea Restorations Ltd, offers an annual
award of £500 and a handsome plaque to the project considered the best of
that year's entries. The Award's purpose is to support and encourage
voluntary conservation work on sites and artefacts of industrial,
agricultural, and domestic importance.
Fieldwork and Recording Awards
To promote good archaeological recording practice in Industrial Archaeology.
There are three awards: the main award of £250 for the best piece of
fieldwork submitted that year, a student award of £100 for the best entry by
a student and the initiative award of £150 for innovative projects e.g.
those from local societies. 
AIA Publications Award
The purpose of the awards is to encourage high standards in local society
publications sympathetic to the aims of industrial archaeology, but
excluding those solely concerned with transport history. A local society is
defined as being based on a town, county, district or region in England,
Wales, Scotland and Ireland, but excluding societies with a nationwide
remit. 
AIA Essay Award
The purpose of the award is to encourage the writing of original essays
which enhance the understanding of industrial archaeology.
British Archaeological Awards/ AIA Award
The AIA Award is one of roughly twelve British Archaeological Awards. These
are presented every two years and cover a range of archaeological
activities, not just excavation and recording. The AIA Award is for the best
adaptive re-use of an historic building or structure of any period.
