The European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH) is to produce two digital issues of the German industrial heritage quarterly magazine “Industriekultur- Magazin für Denkmalpflege, Landschaft, Sozial-, Umwelt- und Technikgeschichte” in English exclusively for ERIH members.

ERIH has regularly featured anchor points and regional routes in a separate section of the magazine and reported on ERIH’s work. Thanks to increased co-operation with the publishers, and with funding from the European Union, the first issue of an English-language (digital) version of the journal is now available to members: “Industrial Culture 1/25. Monument Preservation, Landscape, Social History, Environmental History, History of Technology”.
 
This form of the journal will only be published digitally as a PDF, twice a year. It is not identical to the German-language journal, but contains a special selection of articles for the European audience, including one or two first publications. The e-paper is fully searchable and has active links. Whether this extra membership benefit will be extended beyond two issues, will depend in part on member feed back.

Since 2018 the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH) in cooperation with the Department of Statistics and Survey of the Regionalverband Ruhr (Ruhr Regional Association) has carried out an annual survey of industrial heritage sites in Europe. The survey for 2023 is now open.

The data from this pan-European survey helps ERIH to engage with policymakers, the press, and the public. It also helps ERIH to prioritise its activities and projects in order to be most effective in expanding and developing the network and strengthening the sector.

The deadline for this year’s survey is 20th April. There are more than 20 site sin England signed up to to ERIH, and more in Scotland and wales. However, all industrial heritage sites in England with tourist potential are invited to participate, whether they are ERIH members or not.
