Most common file formats: Hewlett Packard Vector Graphic Plotter File, AutoCAD Drawing, Microsoft Word Document, Microsoft Excel 97 Workbook (xls).

born digital

Quantity / Object type:
1 File

Extent and medium:

6197 digital files (6 GB)

Reference number:

AP195.S3.001

Physical characteristics and technical requirements:

Many of the drawing files can be opened with AutoCAD but were not developed by Autodesk; the format of these files is unknown, though AutoCAD appears to display a relatively high fidelity drawing. Similarly, some files with the .dwg extension are empty, either containing zero bytes or containing all 0's in a hex editor. Some files ending with the .doc file extension are of an unknown format; these are partially readable using text editors, like Notepad, though it does not seem to be their native format.

Conditions governing access:

Digital material can only be accessed on site. Please contact Reference at ref@cca.qc.ca for more information. Access by appointment only.
