Archives Center, James Forgie Papers, 1890-1949, National Museum of American History.
Scope and Contents
This series contains printed materials, the majority of which were published and relate to engineering projects, specifically tunneling, and concern Forgie's work. Other publications were clearly maintained as reference and used by Forgie during the course of his professional career. Forgie wrote about tunneling developments for the Encyclopedia of Britannica Yearbook. Some of those entries are represented here.
The publications include articles, lectures, speeches, addresses before professional societies such as the American Society of Civil Engineers, papers, especially about materials reports, and legal documents such as briefs or testimony. In some instances, Forgie annotated the publications, presumably in connection with his own consulting and expert testimony in several legal actions. Many of the publications relate to specific projects worked on such as the Hudson River Tunnel, and similar publications can be found in Series 2: Projects. The materials are arranged alphabetically.
