The intention of this list is to document data files that I know to be lost, or cannot locate anywhere, and therefore presume to be lost. If you have any additional data files to add to this list, please e-mail me. If you have any of the information listed under 'What is missing', I urge you to also e-mail me at <berenica.vejvoda@utoronto.ca>
Having the report of a survey only, is like having glossy full-colour photos of your dream home, but the contractor who built it blew it up after taking the photos.
If you would have collected original research data, and would like to avoid having it end up on this list, please discuss with us depositing the data with us.
