Biographies
From Engineering Heritage Australia
Biographies are indexed by:
- Surname;
- State;
- Era; and
- Engineering Theme.
Many overseas engineers have contributed to Australia's development. As it is not practical to include every engineer who has worked on an Australian project, the criterion adopted for inclusion was 'in the order of at least 5 years residence in Australia'.
More Australian engineer biographies are available from:
National Biographies
National Biographies will include the list of engineers that was developed by EHA for inclusion in the 2019 Centenary Book titled Anything is Possible. It is considered that this list is simply a starting point and possible future inclusions will be EA National Presidents and winners of the Peter Nicol Russell Career Achievement Memorial Medal.
In 2009 Engineers Australia commemorated its 90th anniversary by sponsoring the Pin Oak Forest in the new National Arboretum in Canberra. It is Forest 41 at the Arboretum and was planted in July 2009. For more information, refer to the Engineers Australia Pin Oak Forest Sponsor Form.
The Pin Oak Forest was planned as an opportunity for Engineers Australia to commemorate the achievements of its engineers. Some 300 trees have been reserved in honour of individuals, senior office bearers and other distinguished citizens who have delivered conspicuous service to the Australian people through the engineering profession. These engineers could also be commemorated by inclusion in EHA's National biographies.
