Keefer Pamphlets

Thomas C. Keefer (1821-1915)
Thomas C. Keefer (1821-1915)

Thomas Coltrin Keefer (1821-1915) was a well known 19th century engineer who, among other things, designed the Waterworks for Hamilton in 1860. He donated a selection of mid-century pamphlets on Railways and Canals to the Hamilton Association which transferred them to the Hamilton Public Library. They have been microfilmed.

 
These pamphlets are arranged alphabetically.
