              One photograph album kept by a member of the Canadian Society of Civil Engineers documenting a Canadian west coast trip through the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia. The 120 silver gelatin photographs show images of interest to the engineers including elevators, irrigation works, mines, smelting works and power plants as well as the scenery of the Rocky Mountains and local people and wildlife. Of particular note is the fact that the party contained numerous women, not all of whom were wives. The front of the album has a pastedown listing all participants in the tour and the back a pastedown listing captions for all of the images.

              Part of University of Waterloo publications collection.

              Enginews was a newsletter published by the Engineering Society consisting of campus news and events. For a time it was published as part of The Coryphaeus but split back out as standalone publication in 1967 in response to complaints that the dual publication was failing to properly serve intended audiences. The standalone publication took on an irreverent tone positioning itself as "best and most exciting (and frequently most disgusting) publication on campus".

              Criticized by campus administration and women's groups for the inclusion of sexist and racist content, the publication was banned on campus in 1983 but continued being published under the direction of Engineering Society Denis Van Dekker until 1985 using funds solicited from readers, at which time the disbandment of the society was threatened prompting the end of any clandestine publishing.
