De plus, le fonds documente l’utilisation des panneaux de fibre de verre modulaires employés par PGL. Pour la plupart, les documents dans ce fonds se composent des dessins, des documents photographiques, et des documents textuels. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________ The PGL architectes fonds, 1959 - 1994, documents the work and activities of the Montréal-based architecture firm, Papineau Gérin-Lajoie Le Blanc architectes, and its successor and affiliate companies.

Description:
- This group of correspondence, clippings and other documents was compiled by the architect, Lloyd Wright, for his own record while he was pursuing the commission for Boeing Airport, Burbank, Los Angeles County, California. He was not successful in obtaining the commission. The correspondence includes letters to and from Lloyd Wright, drafts for and carbon copies of these same letters, and telegrams to Lloyd Wright. Other documents include three newspaper clippings, an estimate and notes. Of the clippings, one reports on the beginning of work on Boeing Airport, the second announces a new meteorological station for pilots in the San Fernando Valley, and includes details of other aviation industry investments in the area, and the third is another account of the initiation of Boeing Airport. The latter clipping is folded up with a sheet noting the address of Lloyd St. John. Although the estimate is not identified by project name, it was probably prepared for Lloyd Wright's Boeing Airport proposal, which included an airport, manufacturing plant and other amenities, all mentioned in the estimate.
