Mission

The history of civil engineering is dealt with by two Panels at ICE.

The Archives Panel provides advice on the preservation of records of the Institution and civil engineering, promoting awareness of the history of the profession through exhibitions and similar events based around the collections.

The mission of the Panel for Historical Engineering Works (PHEW) is to identify, record and promote knowledge of works illustrative of the history and development of civil engineering and to encourage excellence in the conservation of significant examples.
