The most difficult and at the same time the most decisive task of an archaeology of modernity is the determination of the value of a certain monument. Although Westphalian archaeology was able to draw on the expertise of the LWL industrial museums in this matter, some reactions from experts reveal that the discourse on the Archaeology of modernity should not lose sight of the reality of everyday life in the preservation of archaeological monuments.

Part of the LWL-Industriemuseum/Westphalian State Museum of Industrial Heritage, the Henrichshutte’s museal practice always aimed at people’s life and work experience rather than aspects of pure technology. Taking the example of Henrichshutte, this article describes several aspects of work with oral history within the LWL-Industriemuseum as a whole, from exhibition concepts to volunteer work, and discusses the development towards an archive of work in the industrial age, covering six branches and around 1,600 interviews. ----- Bibliographie: Schmidt-Rutsch, Olaf: Old Tales and New Stories.
