Along with the ESL Collections Linda Hall Library received a collection of meeting programs and other finding aids to the ESL Papers collections. Research Specialists can search these resources to locate a paper number or publication location for many papers in the collections.
Many early papers and publications can be found by searching Google Books. Once you've identified the publication of interest, contact us to see if we have a copy in our collection.
These text searchable indexes include materials from the American Society of Civil Engineers, the American Institute of Electrical Engineers (precursor to IEEE), as well as indexes to other early engineering publications.
The Library has an extensive collection of conference programs, indexes, and other finding aids to engineering papers. We regularly use these aids to help patrons find specific papers. Be sure to ask.
