In 2010 we celebrated reaching our 1000th online entry ... Mulberry harbour pierhead fendering, engineered by Ove Arup. Our nice friends at New Civil Engineer helped, publishing a page on Engineering Timelines in their 6th May edition.
We are also calling for help on several planned projects. If you would be interested in helping with any of the following topics, contact us at janejoyc222e@gmail.com ..... Alan Harris, Ted Happold, Felix Samuely, Beatrice Shilling, Peter Rice ... and the Mulberry Harbours and dam building history.
Alternatively, you might like to consider becoming a Friend of Engineering Timelines and offer ongoing support, Jane would love to hear from you.

Engineering Heritage Goes Online
Ingenia  •  issue 30, March 2007  •  unattributed
The Royal Academy of Engineering's magazine, Ingenia, notes the attention paid to engineering timelines by the House of Lords Select Committee on Science and Heritage, quoting their report, which states that the site "... is a very interesting example of how science and technology can be used to improve access to, and understanding of our cultural heritage, as it both shows how our scientific, technological and engineering heritage can be preserved and how we can use technology - namely IT - to enable that."
