The Society for Industrial Archaeology's 47th annual conference will be
held in Richmond, Va. at the Omni Richmond Hotel, Thursday, May 31st
through Sunday, June 3rd, 2018. Early bird tours and a reception will be
offered Thursday; process tours Friday; paper sessions, business luncheon,
and banquet on Saturday; and optional tours available Sunday. Guided tours
will explore a mix of antebellum and post-Civil War Richmond and Virginia
industry, transportation, and military sites. Different from most
archaeology conferences, SIA focuses on tours of modern or historic
industrial process locations, in addition to papers on industrial
archaeology topics.

Their Call for Papers has been extended (not totally sure of revised date
so get them in ASAP!) so please consider submitting one if you have a
Virginia or elsewhere industrial archaeology paper idea!
