The EMCHF was formed in 2016 with the main aims of;

• improving networking between coalmining heritage groups and interested individuals in the East Midlands region with regards to information, collections, requests for assistance and marketing of local coalmining heritage events.

• Try to ensure important coalmining heritage collections and documentation in the East Midlands region are not lost and are preserved for future generations.
