Thanks to WSLS Foundation Director Gerald Mahun and several contributors, the References CD is a collection of 50 essential documents useful for surveyors and others in the land information or natural resources communities. Many have been obtained from the Internet and some are scanned out-of-print historical documents with more than 9500 total pages. All have been published onto a single CD and are conveniently accessible from a menu. Most are in Acrobat Reader PDF format, a few are images, and all can be printed if desired.

The CD is a Foundation fund raiser in support of surveying education and the preservation of historical surveying and mapping memorabilia and can be ordered by mail or obtained at the January 2007 WSLS Annual Surveyors Institute.
