From the early days of the Engineering Society, technical papers outlining novel research performed at SPS were presented at the academic session of Society's fortnightly meetings. Copies of the papers were exchanged with other technical societies and university libraries, providing content for an Engineering Society Library, which formed the only library SPS had for many years. | |||
The origins of the Engineering Stores (initially referred to as "The Supplies Department") are closely associated with the Society's early publishing ventures. In its earliest manifestation, Stores was "a small room where all books and papers, the property of the Society, were kept". By 1908, a permanent secretary was designated to buy and sell goods through the Supplies Department. This operation was cleaved from the library in time, moved to Room 19 of the SPS building and renamed Engineering Stores. | |||
