This special issue is dedicated to the safeguarding and conservation of industrial and technological heritage.

Conservation of industrial and technological heritage can be understood as a multidisciplinary process involving various management institutions and other stakeholders in industrial heritage such as academia, industry, volunteer groups, private owners, visitors and educational groups. This wide engagement allows reflection on the processes of recognition and selection of industrial and technological heritage objects and methodologies for their conservation.

This special issue will include a selection of works presented at the Big Stuff 2022 conference on the theme “Working together conservation and safeguarding of industrial and technological heritage” but is also open to other contributions.

Topics of special interest include but are not limited to:

1. In-situ industrial heritage conservation processes;
2. Methodologies for operational conservation of industrial objects;
3. Agents and processes for safeguarding and conservation;
4. Training of professionals in conservation of industrial and technological heritage.
