This section of the website contains audio heritage material housed in the ECMC Library.  The information being provided is for public access and consumption/use and in MP3 format.

Rather than duplicate the heritage and history records and material from other national engineer organisations, such as the RAE, RCE, RE, USACE, etc, go to our LINKS page, access these organisations and scan/see what they have to offer. We only want to make digital copies of our ECMC library and museum holdings, materials and resources, on our website.

We’re regularly adding to this collection. Come back soon and see what’s new.
