Journal: Canadian Building Digests

"ˇ­ 240 of the 250 Canadian Building Digests published between 1960 and 1990 by NRC's Institute for Research in Construction and its predecessor, the Division of Building Research. The topics reflect the diversity of the industry and cover virtually every aspect of design and construction in Canada. A high percentage of the Digests are as relevant and meaningful as the day they were published. Others are outdated to varying degrees but are included because they still contain useful information. Still others, such as those based on superseded editions of the National Building Code, are no longer applicable, and have not been included. Overall, the collection demonstrates how the construction industry has evolved and thus represents a veritable history of building practice thinking in Canada. "
