We were recently contacted by the coordinator of the Engineering Map of America, an initiative of PBS American Experience and WGBH in Boston, to partner with them on adding photographs in our collection of engineering marvels — scientific and technological innovations in Connecticut and the region. \u00a0The Engineering Map of America, at\u00a0http:\/\/www.pbs.org\/wgbh\/americanexperience\/features\/interactive-map\/penn-engineering\/<\/a>, invites viewers to “explore America’s greatest engineering feats” through this interactive map. \u00a0It’s a great initiative and we’re happy and honored to contribute our photographs to this resource.<\/p>\n
