Source/Archive record SEM8187 - National Record of Industrial Monuments

The collection consists of topographically arranged index cards and copies relating to individual monuments and county lists of monuments associated with the National Record of Industrial Monuments (NRIM) between 1963 and 1980. The NRIM was set up by the Council for British Archaeology (CBA) in 1963 and administration was taken over by the University of Bath in 1965. Record cards for individual buildings were completed by interested parties and submitted. Sets of cards were maintained by the CBA, University of Bath (latterly the Industrial Monuments Survey) and the National Monuments Record. There are three sets of cards in this collection. They are versions of the National Monument Record's set maintained by different departments and therefore are not exactly alike. In 2012 the collection was updated by Heritage Data and where appropriate monuments were allocated a county designation number.
