I.A.Recordings was founded in 1982 by a small group of volunteers, to record past and present industries on film and video, as a resource for industrial archaeology (I.A.).
When possible, they capture the processes and activities of an industry while it is still working; but moving pictures also add an extra dimension to the recording of industrial remains.
All the footage they shoot is kept in a storage archive for posterity}.[1] From time to time, they produce edited programmes from some of the material, to make it available to the public on DVD.[2]
