Hi Robert, You might put yourself in touch with a group in New York called 'Material Connexion.' They maintain a library of building materials: http://www.materialconnexion.com/Home/Solutions/MaterialsLibrary/tabid/89/Default.aspx I interviewed there a couple years ago. At the time, I believe they were looking for someone to help them out with cataloging materials or making their catalog accessible online. They have, if memory serves, a pretty diverse selection of material, with applications ranging from architecture and industrial design to graphic design. I cannot recall if they made use of MasterFormat. Hope this is helpful! Jeffrey Griggs Bibliographic Asst. Preservation Div.
