Jernkontorets Historical Metllurgy Group promote the research into the history of mining and metallurgy. It has been closely tied to Jernkontoret, ever since the 1920’s. It was in the mid-1960’s that a historical metallurgy group was first established. Ever since that time, it has led the task of
- promoting historical research concerning mining and metallurgy
- enabling collaboration between researchers on associated questions
- submitting proposals and prioritising urgent assignments
- arranging lectures, discussion and field studies
- facilitating rapid publication of, and disseminating information about, the results
Activities involve both archaeological and historical documentation and research as well as cultural heritage conservation relating to the production of metals. The accent, nevertheless, is placed on the development of the iron and steel industry. Activities cover all historical epochs and are Nordic in scope.
