The Essex Society for Archaeology and History’s (ESAH) recently adopted strategy sets out the Society’s vision for the next 10 years and an implementation plan to achieve its vision to ‘maintain and develop a deep and lively interest in all aspects of the archaeology and history of the County’. As a sub-group of ESAH the Essex Industrial Archaeology Group (EIAG) will implement this strategy as appropriate to all aspects of the archaeology and history of industrial activity within the County – see the agreed ‘Scope of the EIAG’ in appendix 1 below. The ESAH strategy document recognises EIAG as a sub-group with its own specific activities consistent with the ESAH implementation plan. This document therefore sets out, in the short to medium term, the EIAG’s contribution towards the overall vision and will be regularly reviewed and up-dated as activities are completed or revised, and the need for the inclusion of new activities is identified.
