Vlaamse Vereniging voor Industriële Archeologie vzw
Flemish Association for Industrial Archaeology
From the site: "De Vlaamse Vereniging voor Industriële Archeologie - Vlaanderen - Brussel vzw werd in 1978 als een vrijwiligersvereniging opgericht. Op dat ogenblik bestonden in Vlaanderen nog weinig initiatieven op het vlak van de studie, het behoud en de valorisatie van het technisch, industrieel en wetenschappelijk erfgoed. Het is daarmee de oudste nog bestaande vereniging in België, en één van de oudste in Europa. Sedert haar oprichting, bijna twee decennia geleden, bleef de VVIA de voortrekker voor de ontwikkeling van de industriële archeologie in Vlaanderen en Brussel."

Marine Archaeological Conservation
Evtek Institute of Art and Design, Vantaa, Finland. From the site: "The diploma course in Marine Archaeological Conservation began in September 2000 at the Department of Conservation Studies, Evtek Institute of Art and Design, Vantaa, Finland. The course has been designed to offer a multidisciplinary approach to the study and preservation of underwater shipwrecks with both theoretical and practical training in the area of marine archaeology, the underwater environment, materials analysis, treatment of underwater finds and the in-situ conservation of shipwrecks. During the course the students will undertake, as preliminary projects, the treatment of many different types of waterlogged finds from the Baltic Sea, such as a grey cast iron cannon from the Kronprinz Gustav Adolf and artefacts lifted from the S/S Sundsborg shipwreck. The students will also participate in scuba diving expeditions to help set up sacrificial anodes to protect iron cannons in the sea and, as a part of the documentation course, in an underwater archaeological excavation at lake Valgjärvi in Estonia. The program will end with students completing internship placements related to marine archaeological conservation."
