| HERITAGE INFORMATION SOURCES |
|
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. |
