The WIMH Platform is a coalition of organisations dedicated to preserving Europe’s working industrial and mobile heritage. WIMH includes the European Route of Industrial Heritage (ERIH), Europa Nostra (EN), the European Federation of Museum & Tourist Railways (FEDECRAIL), FIVA (the Fédération Internationale des Véhicules Anciens), and the International Committee for the Conservation of the Industrial Heritage (TICCIH). These organisations, along with countless volunteers and professionals, work to keep industrial heritage sites, railways, historic means of transport, and industrial equipment operational.
