Three major engineering institutions are holding an open day designed for family historians at the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE), Westminster, 23 September 2010 from 1pm – 4:30pm. This event should be of interest for those researching the history of civil, mechanical or electrical engineers and the engineering industry, and who would like to talk with the experts and take a closer look at the historical records available. It offers a chance to see some of the archives of the IMechE, the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET, previously known as the Institution of Electrical Engineers). The archivists will also be giving short talks on researching your engineering ancestors, the international history of engineering, technical education and engineering in wartime. The event is free but pre-booking is essential: email the IMechE Archives at archive@imeche.org Info: Info: http://tiny.cc/3ctf0 Ann Middx Admin
