+`````{admonition} A little history...
+:class: tip
+Structural Engineering educators in the [Faculties of Civil Engineering and Geosciences (CEG)](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/ceg) and [Architecture and the Built Environment (A&BE)](https://www.tudelft.nl/en/architecture-and-the-built-environment) make extensive use of a self-produced reference books that contain drawing instructions, design tables, material properties, equations, examples
+of structural elements, examples of calculations for dimensionsing of structural elements and
+good design examples. Students use these reference books while participating in the many
+Structural Design classes at the faculties of CiTG and A&BE. In 2004, the “Info Map
+Constructieleer” was published by prof. Wagemans et al., in the format of a A4 ring binder which,
+over the years, has been used by thousands of students in structural design education since. In
+2011, the content was updated and translated into English. The current Quick Reference, as the
+new name is, further abbreviated here as QR, can be found here as PDF
+(https://tinyurl.com/Reference-Tables). In 2021 the large parts of the QR were used to create a
+similar resource at the Architecture faculty called ‘Vademecum voor draagconstructies van
+gebouwen’, further abbreviated here as VDM. Until 2022, the QR and VDM were available as
+hardcopy and distributed by the VSSD shop, with copyrights remaining at the Faculty of CEG and
+A&BE.
