August 29th to September 2nd, 2011
The International Symposium of Mining Cultural Heritage and Earth Sciences: Libraries, Archives and Museums (Erbe Symposium) was held for the first time in Freiberg, Germany in 1993 upon the initiative of Doctor Peter Schmidt, who was working at the antique backlist of the Freiberg Mines Academy library, and Doctor Lieselotte Jontes, Director of the Library of the Technological University of Leoben, Austria. Researchers from many different archives, libraries and museums related to mining and earth sciences got together. Other disciplines have been added throughout ten symposia held in Europe and America, such as archeology and anthropology, in order to understand the mining cultural impact in places where diverse minerals and metals were exploited.
For the first time, the Erbe Symposium will take place in México City, where the first mining academy of America was established; then in Pachuca, site of the Historical Archives and Museum of Mining, their archives posses the largest mining archives in México (1616-2002); and finally in Real del Monte, where we can find the legacy of the mining work of the region in mining museums, interpretation centers and the living heritage of former miners and their traditions.
