    "title": "Technology, Environment, and the Historic American Engineering Record",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "<p>This article explores the mission and activities of the Historic American Engineering Record (HAER), a National Park Service program established in 1969 to document historic engineering and industrial sites across the United States. Emphasizing the intersection of technology and the environment, the article highlights how HAER's detailed documentation—through photographs, drawings, and historical reports—preserves technological heritage and informs future research. Jackson underscores the significance of understanding how environmental factors have shaped technological development, using examples such as coal-fueled iron smelting in England and water-powered mills in the United States. The article calls for deeper collaboration between historians of technology and natural scientists to study the mutual influences of environment and industry, using case studies like early copper mining on Isle Royale to demonstrate the value of integrating historical insights into ecological research and conservation planning.</p>",
