The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) has its roots in the early 19th century, when a number of long-standing professional bodies were created, such as the Law Society and the Royal Society. It endeavours to support learning and represent the profession, and has an international membership that features a strong British bias, with this archive belonging to the ‘knowledge business’ area of the Institution’s work.
