The material remains of our industrial past define the source of information used in industrial archeology and the symbols for speaking to us about that past. Fieldwork distinguishes industrial archeology from other approaches to our industrial past We spend countless hours in the field searching for and recording the material remains of our industrial heritage. The conduct of fieldwork in industrial archeology, however, varies enormously. Some fieldwork involves searching for and recording the surface evidence of industrial activity; other fieldwork involves digging for buried evidence. Some fieldwork takes place within the large-scale arena of regional landscapes transformed by industrial activity; other fieldwork is limited to the small space of a single building or structure. Some fieldwork explores the material expression of industrial technology; other fieldwork searches for and records the material evidence of the everyday lives of industrial workers. Some fieldwork takes place to comply with government laws and regulations; other fieldwork is driven by theoretical or academic goals or done for purely personal reasons. Some fieldwork involves free enterprise, private companies working for profit; other fieldwork involves volunteers or classes at universities or colleges. Each of the ways that we conduct fieldwork speaks to us about our industrial past in its own distinctive voice. The many approaches to fieldwork form a cacophony of voices, some loud, some whispering, some barely audible at all. The voices originate partly in the characteristics of the material remains of our industrial past, partly in the social and cultural context within which fieldwork is conducted, and partly in the people who do fieldwork.
