Fonds consists of records generated or accumulated by Zdzislaw Przygoda during his practice as a structural engineer, in the firm of Przygoda and Associates Ltd. Consulting Engineers between 1954 and 1995.
The records consist mainly of architectural drawings, and include sketches, technical drawings and conceptual designs for structural elements, equipment, and building additions.
Textual records in a limited number of project files include building specifications, correspondence with architects, contractors and clients, site investigations, calculations, preliminary proposals, equipment reports, meeting minutes, labour agreements and instructions.
Volumes often consist of soil test boring reports of sites, as well as feasilbility studies, reports and specifications.
Photographs are found in four of the series, and depict construction of St. Wilfred's Church, The Liberty Street Buildings, Maple Leaf Mills Ltd. Saskatoon, and John XXII School. Photographs also include negatives of plans for the Maple Leaf Ltd. project in Saskatoon.
The records have been arranged into 60 series based on the building location of individual projects. The series pertains to certain aspects of the project related to Przygoda rather than a complete record of the building development. Several series include numeric project codes in which the first two digits represent the year the project was started followed by digits assigned sequentially. As this numbering system was not maintained, series were assigned arbitrarily although the numbering system was noted where applicable.
