The study of industrial heritage is multi-faceted. The discipline of Industrial Archaeology was created in 1955 in the United Kingdom in order to study the phenomena of industrialisation, which are not only industrial, as well as phenomena associated with transportation, social organisation, ports, automation of industry in the fields (agriculture) and even subjects directly related to the importance of raw materials that were necessary to industry.<\/p>\n
This work is crucial because is raises awareness regarding the need to safeguard, preserve and value the heritage that industry and industrial society created. There is still a great amount of assets associated with technical aspects, referred to as technical heritage, which also needs to be preserved since it is related to the oldest professions in industry, such as workshops, manufacturing, devices, energies, machinery and technical systems.<\/p>\n
In Portugal, Industrial Archaeology began between the end of the 1970s and beginning of the 1980s. The major event to mark the establishment of this field was the exhibition that took place at the Tejo Power Station (1985), dedicated specifically to the discovery of industrial archaeology and its preservation. The power plant opened as a museum, called the Museu da Eletricidade (Electricity Museum<\/em>), in 1990, serving as an emblem of this scientific discipline, with a team that studies these fields and specialises in electric history and heritage. There are other industrial museums of great quality, such as Lanif\u00edcios (Wool <\/em>) in Covilh\u00e3, Museu do Papel (Paper Museum<\/em>), etc. or other places to visit such as the Real F\u00e1brica do Gelo (Royal Ice Factory)<\/em> in Serra de Montejunto, which is rarely visited despite its classification as a national monument.<\/p>\n These examples are just a sample of the outstanding work that has been developed in Portugal to preserve the country\u2019s industrial legacy and the effects of industrialised society. \u201cThere are approximately 100 industrial and mining museums in the country.\u201d This number is provided by the professor and researcher at Instituto de Hist\u00f3ria Contempor\u00e2nea (Institute of Contemporary History<\/em>) at Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Jorge Cust\u00f3dio.
