The author places emphasis on the remnants of the industrial past and indicates the way to select those that must survive as last witnesses of the scientific and technological past. According to the author, industrial archaeology aims to create more than a history of sciences and techniques. It should recreate, starting from specific data, the material and human environment of a society.
