Soliciting Input for an Engineering
Geology Monograph
As discussed at the GeoRegina and
GeoQuebec CGS Engineering Geol-
ogy Division Executive meetings, the
CGS Engineering Geology Division
will be pursuing the publication of an
Engineering Geology Monograph
based on the Canadian experience.
We would like to solicit input in terms
of the content to include as well as
suggestions for chapter topics, etc.
It is envisioned that the monograph
will capture the history, significant
events, innovations and contributions
of Canadians to the field of engineer-
ing geology. We would not like to
leave anyone or any significant topic
out of this monograph. As such, we
are soliciting the CGS membership
(and beyond) for their ideas in terms
of topics and people to include. If you
would like to contribute to a particular
chapter of the monograph, please con-
tact me at
. or at (613)
541-6000 x 6398. We require any and
all feedback by
December 30, 2016
.
Thank you for your kind consideration
and we look forward to your com-
ments.

Virtual Archives
There are rich but rarely used
resources in Canada that consist of
files containing historical information
on geotechnical laboratory and field
research, geotechnical investigations,
work of committees and geotechnical
expertise. Ways to identify and use
these resources have been developed
by the Heritage Committee of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society in the
form of virtual archives on the CGS
web site, where the location and con-
tent of accessible historical geotechni-
cal material are given.
CGS members and others are invited
to submit candidate material for con-
sideration. The submission should give
the location of the material, a descrip-
tion of its nature and content, its his-
torical significance and the conditions
under which it can be accessed. Do
not submit physical archival material
as the Society has no space to store it,
however electronic copies of photo-
graphs or materials are welcome.
Your contribution to the CGS Virtual
Archives web page should be sent
to the Chair of the CGS Heritag
Committee, Dr.

History of Local Sections of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society
The Heritage Committee believes that
the history of the local sections of the
Canadian Geotechnical Society to be
valuable part of the Society and its
members. The CGS Heritage Com-
mittee would like to assemble if at
all possible, a collection of historical
summaries of all the sections. Hope-
fully every local chapter of the CGS
will take the time to gather their
archives and write their own history.
Please contact the Chair of the CGS
Heritage Committee, Dr.
David
Cruden

if
you have any questions.
