Earthquake engineering began in the early decades of the 20th century. Today, it is rapidly losing those who pioneered in the development and evolution of seismic design and earthquake hazard reduction.In order to capture the events that influenced the thinking behind today's engineering theories and practices, the Earthquake Engineering Research Institute inaugurated Connections, The EERI Oral History Series. Begun in 1994, limited resources have prevented EERI from publishing many of the interviews that exist only as rough audio tapes or from capturing the increasingly perishable information that resides with the few remaining founders, while they are still alive. Collectively, their histories provide one of the few records of the way in which scientific and engineering knowledge has developed over time and has influenced codes, practices, and society. Most importantly, once published, their stories transmit the passion and commitment that motivated them and help to attract a new generation of prospective leaders in earthquake hazard reduction fields.

地震工程开始于世纪的最初几十年。今天，在抗震设计和减少地震灾害的发展和演变中，那些先驱者正在迅速流失。为了捕捉影响当今工程理论和实践背后思想的事件，地震工程研究所开设了联系，EERI口述历史系列。 从1994年开始，有限的资源使EERI无法出版许多只存在于粗糙的录音带中的访谈，也无法捕捉少数幸存创始人仍然活着的越来越容易腐烂的信息。 总的来说，他们的历史提供了科学和工程知识随着时间的推移而发展并影响法规，实践和社会的少数记录之一。 最重要的是，他们的故事一旦出版，就传递了激励他们的激情和承诺，并有助于吸引新一代减少地震灾害领域的潜在领导者。
