The CIBSE Heritage
Group researches the history
of building engineering services both in general terms and in specific
buildings. Sometimes records about a particular building exist, but
rarely on the
services. Therefore, in addition to its own findings and photographs,
the Group
looks at a variety of sources of published information to build up as
complete an
overall picture as possible.
It looks at
publications on engineering services (often dating from Victorian and
Edwardian times) as
well as books on buildings, architects, social history, catalogues and
histories of firms in the building engineering services industry, the
industry's
pioneers and so on. This section of the Heritage Group website displays
the front covers
of just a few of the books used for this purpose, which will indicate
to
other
researchers the opportunities that exist to seek out Heritage
information. |
