English Heritage wants to hear the views of owners, developers, local people, voluntary bodies, academics, professionals and politicians as part of its Industrial Heritage at Risk research programme.
People can visit www.english-heritage.org.uk/industrial-heritage-at-risk to post photographs and comment on favourite industrial buildings on a Flickr group.
English Heritage will reveal in October how much of its listed or scheduled industrial heritage is at risk.
It will also make proposals for the way forward and will form part of the launch of the annual Heritage at Risk register.
Anthony Streeten, English Heritage planning director for the East Midlands, said Papplewick Pumping Station and Ruddington Framework Knitters Workshops were among the buildings that reinforced the reputation of the East Midlands as an engaging destination for visitors.
He added: "But much of our country's industrial heritage is now at risk and the current economic climate isn't helping.
"Owners are finding it hard to look after the needs of their buildings as well as their businesses. We're determined to see what can be done to help. Our industrial past is too important to ignore."
