General note:

Show detail Hide detail

This accession consists of maps, photographs, plans and textual records created and or maintained by Jacques Gréber and the National Capital Planning Service, Federal District Commission. The material was stored in Gréber's drafting chest which was kept in the National Capital Commission Library until 2022.

The majority of items in this accession were created in the 1940s and 1950s. The negatives appear to be the original production plates for the drawings associated with the 1948 draft and 1950 Report and Atlas of the Plan for the National Capital. The maps, aerial photos and drawings appear to be the materials used by the planning staff to prepare the 1950 report and its associated public displays. The accession also contains Jacques Gréber's 1949 coloured pencil sketches of the proposed revisions for the 1950 land use master plan.

Included in the accession is a CD-Rom containing digitized copies of maps, plans and photographs from Gréber's drafting chest. The electronic copies are in pdf and jpeg format. The CD-Rom also includes an inventory list.
