In this context and from the perspective of industrial archeology what I want to point out in this article is what I perceive and endorse as a change of emphasis in society: the memory of work, a fundamental part of industrial culture, recovers again the value and preeminence it deserves. I will further critically reflect on what my research group has done and will finally consider the advances and difficulties of a research project aiming at the study and eventual recovery and preservation of the memory of work inside industrial heritage.</span></span></p><p style="margin-bottom: 0.21cm; widows: 2; orphans: 2;"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">URN: <a href="http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs110333">http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:0114-fqs110333</a> </span></span></p> ER -
