Communications for the Newsletter, SIAN

E-mail: phsianews@aol.com

SIAN is our lifeline of communication. Editor Patrick Harshbarger welcomes material and correspondence from members, especially in the form of copy already digested and written! The usefulness and timeliness of the Newsletter (SIAN) depend on you, the reader, as an important source of information and opinion. Any and all hot tips, inquiries, criticisms, or comments should be sent directly to the Editor.

Reference to books and articles that you find of IA interest probably would appeal to other members too. Please send such citations, or the entire work, for inclusion in Publications of Interest which supplements each SIAN.


Questions & assistance with organizing SIA events such as the Annual Conference, Fall Tours or Study Tours

Bode Morin, SIA tours and conferences coordinator, is looking at old favorite and new locations for upcoming fall tours, study tours, and conferences. While it may seem daunting, hosting tours and conferences has gotten much easier in the last few years as SIA headquarters has taken over the burden of printing and mailing brochures, collecting registration fees, maintaining participant lists, and printing tour materials such as name tags and guidebooks. Hosting an event is a great way to showcase your area, start or reinvigorate a local chapter, or draw attention to important and threatened industrial heritage. If you are interested in bringing the SIA to your area or have ideas for study tours, drop Bode a line or e-mail.
