Hello Doug,
There is an association in Québec which promotes the study, preservation
and interpretation of industrial heritage.  It is called A.q.p.i.
(Association québécoise pour le patrimoine industriel).  In 1993, they
put together a bibliography on industrial heritage.  You can order a
copy by contacting the association at 514 528-8444.
Good luck in your research
