"Project 237" was created by the Lehigh University Department of Civil Engineering for the purpose of recording Fritz Engineering Laboratory research history. From the earliest days of the first decade (1910) of operation to the mid 1980s, Fritz Engineering Laboratory was a center of important civil engineering research doing research that would be included in the nation's building specifications. This collection contains photographs and newspaper articles describing some of the newsworthy research done in Fritz Engineering Laboratory. Most of the 253 photographs of research projects were made by Richard N. Sopko, Fritz Lab photographer c. 1962 to early 1990s and are of assorted sizes but mainly in black and white. Earlier photographs were made by assorted staff and faculty many pictured in the collection and depict camaraderie among the staff and faculty in the new research facility. The original newspaper articles were photocopied onto acid free paper and these images are now in the collection.
