In total 270 presentations will be delivered in 70 sessions. Please find the final program and an electronic version of the book of abstracts on the conference main website http://www.tampere.fi/industrialpast2010/ In order to inform the members about the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH) and the International Committee for the History of Technology (ICOHTEC) the Newsletter publishes short articles about both societies. You might be interested to know about the development of the history of technology in Finland. Thus the newsletter offers a bibliography of Finnish books and articles in the history of technology, assembled by the Finnish Society for the History of Technology . In 2007 Timo Myllyntaus, Tiina Männistö, and Riikka Jalonen (University of Turku) published a report about the development of the history of technology in Finland in the ICOHTEC Newsletter; it is available on our website: http://www.icohtec.org/publications-reports.html . A brand new article on this subject will be included in the Tampere conference bags: the journal Tekniikan Waiheita , Finnish Quarterly for the History of Technology , has published a special issue 2/2010 under the title: “Finnish Research on the History of Technology”.
