- La mémoire de l’industrie parLe Traqueur De Source Scientifiques 21 juin 2024 Long ignored or scorned, industrial heritage is now being given institutional recognition: old factories are being rehabilitated, mine shafts are being included in tourist itineraries and industrial objects are being made into museums.
