The Newcomen Society holds a monthly series of  meetings usually at 6.30 pm in Room 0.27, Portland Building, Portsmouth University. See http://www.newcomen.com/brmeetings.htm#s  for details of forthcoming talks.

HIAS Journal 13 is now available as is the web version of  Focus No.71

HIAS is an active group with a current membership of about 150, interested in all aspects of  Hampshire's Industrial Archaeology. Originally founded in the 1960's, as the Southampton University Industrial Archaeology Group, the group recently changed its name to the Hampshire Industrial Archaeology Society.

Our activities have included surveys of mills, breweries, brickworks, etc., as well as restoration and preservation (see Projects), often in association with other organizations such as the Hampshire Mills Group, The Twyford Waterworks Trust and the Tram 57 Project.

We meet once a month, usually with a talk on an IA related subject (see meetings). Visits to places of IA interest are also arranged and we host and participate in IA conferences.

 We have published several monographs and have an annual Journal, in addition to Focus, a half yearly newsletter. There is a library of books and videos, which members can borrow.

We maintain close links with Hampshire County Council, Southampton City Council and the University of Southampton

HIAS is a registered charity, No. 276898.
