Their faces and voices form a unique historical record.

(1997) Geotechnical Engineering in Canada: an Historical Review
150-page document, which resulted from a series of taped interviews with early contributors to the geotechnical profession in Canada, was published by BiTech Publishers, as a Commemorative Edition of Geotechnical News at the time of the Golden Jubilee 50th CGS Annual Conference in Ottawa 1997. Texts were prepared and edited by Cyril E. Leonoff. Funding to permit publication and distribution to all members of the CGS was raised by the Vancouver Geotechnical Society and generous sponsors listed in the document. In 2009, BiTech Publishers provided funding for scanning this electronic version of the document.

Among other things, this document includes short biographies, and in one case an autobiography, of seven contributors to Canadian geotechnique: I.F. (Ibrahim) Morrison, Bob Hardy, Robert Peterson, Robert Ferguson Legget, G. Geoffrey Meyerhof, Karl Terzaghi, Ralph Peck (autobiography). It also includes a chapter on women in Canadian geotechnical engineering.
