Abstract

The Glen Osmond Mines in South Australia constitute the first metal mines in Australia, and their silver and lead ores exported to England, contributed substantially to the state's early economy Later, other metal mines came into being throughout the nation and used the skilled labour, scientific method and experiences thus gained. These mines are proof of the resourcefulness of their age, reflect the people involved and embody distinctive characteristics of an engineering age, and are therefore worthy of preservation. This paper presents an understanding of engineering heritage, and a case for accepting the Glen Osmond mines as part of the nation's heritage, and outlines an approach to conserving their significance.
