PCforest Database
This Interactive Library database contains 14,639 records for the patents, books, and articles abstracted by the Society to form the PCforest database. The majority of this information was abstracted from proceedings, laboratory reports, technical journals, and trade journals published between the years 1974 and 1986. Exceptions to this date range are worldwide articles on wood machining compiled by Dr. Peter Koch and his colleagues, some of which date back to the 1940s. This database represents a significant body of basic wood science and technology information that will be useful to individuals working in research and development.
