Contents pages of the project surveys.

These reviews were published in very limited runs as monographs. The bulk of their contents has now been reproduced on this web site.

The contents pages of the three 'survey' publications (or 'typologies'), reproduced here, give the local names of the projects and, for 'Monash Bridges' and 'Tanks and Silos', the current name of the municipality in which they are or were situated. All the bridges listed here were extant in 1998. The fate of the tanks and silos c.2000, if known, was noted against their names.
