Survivals: Aspects of Industrial Archaeology in Ontario by Newell, Dianne and Greenhill, Ralph., Erin, Ont: Boston Mills Press, 1989. Pp. 225. Illustrations, select bibliography, and index.

Newell, Dianne and Greenhill, Ralph., Survivals: Aspects of Industrial Archaeology in Ontario. Erin, Ont: Boston Mills Press, 1989. Pp. 225. Illustrations, select bibliography, and index. $39.50.

This attractive book is the joint effort of two long time workers in Canadian engineering and technological history. One is Dianne Newell who has also had a long interest in industrial archaeology. She wrote Technology on the Frontier: Mining in Old Ontario, which was published in 1986. Ralph Greenhill is a noted collector and writer on photography. His major interest is the history of engineering which led to Engineer's Witness, published in 1985. For this book each author has produced five essays, each one with 7 to 10 pages of text and 10 to 14 pages of photographs, both historical and modern. As Newell acknowledges in her introduction, the book is actually about their favourite sites in southern Ontario. Their selection starts with the Rideau Canal and covers Grand Trunk Railway bridges and stations, the Hamilton Pumphouse, Gooderham & Worts Distillery (Toronto), soap factories in London and Guelph, the Whirlpool Rapids Bridge (Niagara River), the St. Clair Tunnel (Sarnia), and the Peterborough Lift Lock.

The book deals almost exclusively with structures.
