This youtube channel features videos of lectures given to the Newcomen Society
The Newcomen Society was founded in 1920 and takes its name from Thomas Newcomen, who invented the first practical working steam engine around 1712. We cover all aspects of engineering from ancient times to the present.
Since 1920 we have published over a 1000 papers in The Journal, which are an invaluable archive of original research material for historians and available in The Archive, which is free to members, while non-members are free to browse and purchase. We also publish the quarterly magazine Newcomen Links.
Regular events are held in various locations throughout the UK which include lectures, study days and conferences.
