http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/122292352

The records consist of files generated by the Institute's publication program. Correspondence from 1921 to 1927 describes the production of the HISTORY. Subsequent files describe projected updatings of the work contemplated in 1934, 1948 and 1963, with requests to members for historical information. There is a separate file on the committee on the table of distances (1919-1939), which produced a manual on the required siting of magazines relative to inhabited buildings or public highways. The files also contain lists of officers of the Institute.
