The Pearson Archive
The Pearson firm was founded by Samuel Pearson as builders and
contractors, at Bradford, Yorkshire in 1856.
It established its reputation in the 1880s under Weetman
Pearson, later created the first Viscount Cowdray. Pearson’s
civil engineering works included the Sheffield main sewer, the
docks at Halifax, Nova Scotia and the Empress Dock at
Southampton. During the 1890s the firm became the largest
contractor in the world. It constructed the Blackwell Tunnel,
Dover Harbour, Sennar Dam on the Blue Nile and the
reconstruction of the Tehuantepec Railway in Mexico amongst
many other major engineering works.
The archive contains contracts, specifications, agreements,
correspondence, reports, accounts, notebooks and photographs
relating to the firm’s civil engineering work throughout the
world. They also include the first Lord Cowdray’s working
papers and papers relating to the firm’s subsidiary interests
in publishing and aviation.
The records were deposited with the Science Museum Library &
Archive by S. Pearson and Son Ltd. in 1972.
