The full web site for the National Association of Mining History Organisation (NAMHO) conference Mining Legacies at Aberyswyth University, 28 June to 1 July 2013, is up and running. You can access it through www.namhoconference.org.uk There you will find the booking form and details of the programme which will be expanded as more information is available. The web site is hosted by the University of Stirling (one of a number of organisations sponsor all or part of the event, including the University of Exeter, the RCAHMW Metal Links project, and the Cambrian Mines Trust) but please use the www.namhoconference.org.uk link to access the content. Aberystwyth, on the coast of mid-Wales, provides an idea venue for a conference focusing on the legacies of past mining activity. The university has all the facilities for a full lecture programme with the opportunity to visit many relevant mine sites in its immediate hinterland. The uplands of mid-Wales are rich with examples of metal mining from the Bronze Age through to the 20th century. Its historic landscape has been moulded by the activities of man over thousands of years and the interpretation of its archaeology, and its environmental and cultural impact, tells a story which is relevant across a much wider area. This conference brings together mining historians and archaeologists from across Britain, Ireland and further afield to share their work and their experiences, to socialise and to enjoy a rich mining heritage.
