Here's a link to an ice harvesting bibliography:

The Frozen-Water Trade by Gavin Weightman (Hyperion 2003) contains extensive
background information on the beginnings and operation of the ice business.

Hello, all;

       Does anyone, perchance, have knowledge of reports or links to
excavations of icehouses or buildings/structures associated with icehouses
or the ice harvesting industry? I'm trying to locate a little more
background information for a Phase I that I am working on. My site dates to
the early twentieth century, but I'd be happy to read any data from other
time periods, or from any region.

     Cheers, everyone!
