A special one-day conference at the Essex Record Office investigating Essex's industrial past: Sat 6 July 2013, 9.30am-4.30pm
Since large-scale industrialisation began in the eighteenth century, industrial development has had a huge influence on the way people have lived. Essex is often overlooked as an industrial county, but industry is a fascinating aspect of the county's past. This one-day conference will take a look at the industries which sprang up here, and the impact they had on local people's lives.
The website is currently undergoing some essential maintenance.
Progress update: the main infrastructure work on the server is now complete, and the website should once again be fully operational. We are now accepting member registrations again.
Some less major work still needs to take place, and so the site may continue to be unavailable for short periods over the next few days. We apologise in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause.
This work is required to bring you improved security when accessing the members' area of the website. If you have any questions, please contact us.
Thank you for your patience.
Starting from discussions between a group of former Marconi Radar colleagues, over the past two years a set of online archives has been created covering the histories of the major parts of the Marconi company. By gathering in memories, and in many cases collected paperwork and artefacts, we have built up a lot of the story, but there are still gaps. To fill these in we want to spread the net so this is an appeal to anyone who worked for any part of Marconi to get in contact with us and donate what they have.
There is a possibility that within the New Street redevelopment we can create a physical Marconi Heritage Centre as we are now working with the BAE Heritage Product Committee who already support similar establishments. This means we can have a Chelmsford-based archive.
