The International Journal for the History of Engineering and Technology (formerly Transactions of the Newcomen Society) is the flagship publication of the Newcomen Society – the oldest learned society in the world devoted to the history of engineering and technology. Since its foundation in 1920 it has been the leading voice in this subject and its Transactions therefore contain an unparalleled body of original research material contributed over the course of nearly a century by leading engineers and historians.
The International Journal for the History of Engineering and Technology continues the Society's long and distinguished record of presenting to a worldwide readership fresh research across the whole field: civil, mechanical, electrical, structural, aeronautical, automotive, marine, communication and chemical engineering, together with manufacturing processes, information and system engineering, and conservation issues.
Subjects are treated from a wide variety of perspectives, including design, development, and use of products and processes, as well as the contribution and influence of leading thinkers and innovators. The papers emphasise how engineering and technology have historically influenced, and in their turn been influenced by, changes in the economic, social and cultural context. In addition, the journal aims to inform its readers of related historical research through reviews of newly-published material.
