The History and Heritage Program of ASME The ASME History and heritage Program began in September 1971. To implement and achieve its goals, ASME formed a History and Heritage Committee, comprised of mechanical engineers, historians of technology, and the Curator Emeritus of Mechanical and Civil Engineering at the Smithsonian Institution. The committee provides a public service by examining, noting, recording, and acknowledging mechanical engineering achievements of particular significance. The History and Heritage Committee is part of the ASME Council on Public Affairs and Board on Public Information. For further information, please contact Public Information, the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990, 212-591-7740, fax 212-591-8676. An ASME landmark represents a progressive step in the evolution of mechanical engineering. Site designations note an event or development of clear historical importance to mechanical engineers. Collections mark the contributions of several objects with special significance to the historical development of mechanical engineering. The ASME Mechanical Engineering Recognition Program illuminates our technological heritage and serves to encourage the preservation of the physical remains of historically important works. It provides an annotated roster for engineers, students, educators, historians, and travelers, and helps establish persistent reminders of where we have been and where we are going along the divergent paths of discovery.
