Kemp helped organize the Engineering Foundation Conference in partnership with Theodore Sande (“Ted”) at Franklin Pierce College in Rindge, New Hampshire on June 25-30, 1978. The conference’s theme was “Historic Preservation of Engineering Structures,” and the ASCE expressed interest in publishing the conference proceedings later that year. This box includes materials about the conference, including correspondence, draft conference papers, annual reports, budget lists, event programs, curriculum vitae, and lists of contacts. The box also includes facsimiles of the following: conference papers, RSVP slips, questionnaire response sheets, engineering drawings, memorandums, maps, and clippings. Subjects include historic preservation, histories of technology and engineering works, preservation of engineering structures in museums, conference logistics, and reimbursement for travel expenses. Highlights include a mark-up proof of the conference proceedings. The following oversize items were moved to Box 344: one clipping (1982), and one brochure (undated).
