Citations prior to the late 1960s were obtained by manual searches in the FPL li- brary, from literature obtained from Latin American institutions, and by searches of the literature cited in documents.

For example, ref- erences on wood pulp for the manufacture of paper are included, but not references on the manufacture of pa- per itself.
