South East Regional Industrial Archaeology Conference
- South East Regional Industrial Archaeology Conference
The South East Regional Industrial Archaeology Conference (SERIAC) is an annual 1 day conference held by the industrial archaeological (i.a.) societies in the south east of England which are organised on a county basis.
Origins
The first SERIAC conference was convened by SIHG in 1982, and it has been held annually ever since.
Organisation
There is no separate SERIAC organisation, and it does not even has its own website. However, each i.a. society (in membership) in turn hosts (or is asked to host) the conference, and handles the organisation either as part of its business, or sets up a special sub-committee to do so.
Funds are inherited from the previous conference are handed on in toto to the society holding the upcoming conference.
The conference is held in the second or third week of April, at a location such as a university campus, usually, but not necessarily within, the host society's area.
Format
The host society chooses a theme for the year, and papers are sought to address the selected topic. Attendance is sought from membership of all the societies in south-east England, and there is a moderate charge for the conference.
Every year invitations are sought for papers for an annual bursary for a project of i.a. consequence in the area. Bursary winners are invited back to report on their projects at a subsequent conference.
