ENERGY REFERENCE TOOLS GUIDE
Scope:

This guide is a finding aid for data and factual information related to energy. It includes online glossaries, chronologies, and statistics.

Chronologies

NRCan - Canadian Energy Chronology
The Canadian Energy Chronology is a record of energy developments and policy decisions over the period 1945 through 1995. Well over 1300 entries provide an invaluable reference source and historical document, particularly as the generation of officials responsible for energy policy development over this period retires. In preserving NRCan’s corporate memory, the author, Mr. Ralph Toombs, provides a new generation of policy-makers with a sense of history, policy development and insights that might otherwise have been lost.

EIA - Petroleum Chronology of Events 1970 - 2000
These events created broad changes in the way petroleum is produced, imported, stored, transported, and consumed in the United States.

EIA - World Oil Market and Oil Price Chronologies 1970 - 2003
