The SIA reaches across North America for traces of the industrial past. Each year, in different cities or regions with a significant legacy of industrial activity, the SIA holds a Fall Tour. Special IA Study Tours are arranged on an occasional basis worldwide. Central to all of these gatherings are special tours of contemporary and historic industrial sites and processes.
