Welcome to the South Yorkshire Industrial History Society
The Society is a charity which is constituted for the education and instruction of the public by the furtherance of the study, investigation, description and preservation of the historical and archaeological evidence of the trades which have been carried on in South Yorkshire from earliest times to the recent past.
We have lectures and visits, do archaeological and historical research and issue publications.
We have purchased and maintain historic industrial premises where we restore and display machinery or objects of archaeological or historical interest. Volunteers are always welcome.
We take an active involvement in the planning and conservation process in the areas of interest.
Membership of the Society is open to all.
