The English Leather Industry during the long 19th century

本项目回顾了“漫长的19世纪”的各种皮革工业。对皮革经济的全面回顾将对后中世纪时期和新工业时代之间发生的经济和社会变化产生重要的见解。它将提供有关地理发展的信息，特别是19世纪新兴大型皮革工厂的英格兰北部工业城镇和城市（Atkins 2012, 94）。这本书将揭示当时的畜牧业、关键的农业变革、不断增长的出口市场和一连串的法律变化，皮革经济在这些变化中受到了极大的破坏。所有这些，以及更多，都需要在本研究的范围内进行检查和发展。最后，这项工作将有利于发展中的组织，如皮革保护中心和国家皮革收藏，提供更清晰的皮革经济历史，以及回顾过去的制造和保存方法，增加档案数字化，所有这些都将有助于改善和发展保护方法和遗产部门战略。

This project presents a review of the various leather industries of the 'long 19th century'. Acomprehensive review of the leather economy would establish important insights into the economic andsocial changes occurring between the post-medieval period and a new industrial era. It would provideinformation on the geographical developments, particularly of industrial towns and cities in northernEngland with the emerging large leather factories of the nineteenth century (Atkins 2012, 94). It wouldshine a light on the story of stockbreeding, of key agricultural changes, the growing export markets andthe litany of legal changes of the period, of which the leather economy was greatly disrupted. All of this,and more, would need to be examined and developed under the purview of this study. Finally, this workwould serve to benefit growing organisations such as the Leather Conservation Centre and the NationalLeather Collection, providing a clearer history of the leather economy, as well as reviewing pastmanufacturing and preservation methods and increasing archival digitisation, all of which would help inthe improvement and development of conservation methods and heritage sector strategies.
