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."
