Canada Track and Traffic Digital Archive
September, 1959 - November, 1972
This disc contains a digital archive of every issue of Canada Track & Traffic that was published. During its time, it was the most important motorsports publication in Canada and, as such, it provides a good record of the automotive industry and motorsports inCanada at that time. The contents of this disc are provided for the use of motorsports historians for researchpurposes only.This digital archive project originated a number of years ago when Reid Milburn,working with Ed Moody, who was then with the Canadian Motorsports Hall of Fame,scanned this entire run of issues. He scanned them page-by-page as individual JPEGfiles. These files were distributed by the CMHF but unfortunately many of the CDs werebad and the files were corrupted. This year, Ed Moody provided George Webster with a complete set of the original Milburn scans. Webster was able to convert the JPEGs to PDF files (which anyone can read using the freely available Adobe Acrobat Reader) and compile them into one multi-page PDF file per issue. In a few cases, there were missing pages, but MikeTanney was able to provide them from his collection of CT&T. In addition, these new PDF files were scanned using OCR software which makes it possible to do a key word search from within Adobe Acrobat. Indeed it is possible to search an entire volume or everything on the disc at one time. Unfortunately the original scans were made at fairly low resolution (150 dpi) and this means that the key word search is not 100% reliable. At some point Marcel Chicak compiled an index and this is also included. |
