Abstract: This paper discusses the importance of history in establishing heritage significance. It also emphasises the importance of gathering through oral history, the personal experiences of eminent engineers and the eye-witness accounts of participants in significant engineering projects and organisations, while they are able. Through oral history a data-base can be created for contemporary engineering history and the research of engineering practice. Emphasis is placed on the need in conducting oral history programs, for clear objectives, good management, careful selection of oral historians, quality control, and public access to the outputs and their publicising.
