Guide to the Roebling collections at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Rutgers University

The volume is a catalog of correspondence, technical notes and drawings, notebooks, newspaper and magazine clippings, published items, and photographs documenting the personal and professional activities of members of the Roebling family. The records date from between 1824 and 1980; most heavily represented are the years 1844-1926, when John A.. Roebling and his son Washington A. Roebling were active in the design and construction of numerous bridges and the administration of the family wire rope manufacturing business. -- Page 5.
