Seed orchard conference 2007 proceedings
Last IUFRO meeting where a working party on seed orchards was involved: 1986; Weir B and (editors) 1986. Conference Proceedings: A joint meeting of IUFRO WP on Breeding Theory, Progeny Testing and Seed Orchards. Virginia, October 13-17. 1986.Williamsburg 1986. That proceedings contain 17 papers with reference to seed orchards, the proceedings from the conference 2007 contain 35 papers. Thus probably the meeting 2007 is the one in the history, which has attracted most attention focusing on seed orchard research.
Last Nordic meeting on seed orchards: 1991 Lindgren D (editor) 1991. Pollen Contamination in Seed Orchards. Proceedings of the Meeting of the Nordic Group for Tree Breeding 1991. Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Department of Forest Genetics and Plant Physiology. Report 10, 120pp.
There was a symposium about mass-propagation technology for fast growing tree species at Bordeaux 1992, which could been said to deal with seed orchard problems almost as much as the current conference considering it was longer, but because of the constraint fast-growing species it was still not that relevant for seed orchards in general.
Last book on seed orchards in English 2000: Mohan Varghese, A. Nicodemus, B. Nagarajan, K.R.S, Siddappa, S.S. R. Bennet and K. Subramanian 2000 Seedling seed orchards.
Second last book on seed orchards 2006: HIGA, Antonio Rioyei; SILVA, Luciana Duque (org). Pomar de Sementes de Espécies Florestais Nativas (Seed Orchard of Brazilian Native Forest Trees Species). In Portuguese. Curitiba, FUPEF DO PARANÁ. 2006. 264P.
Last book on seed orchards 2007: Almqvist, C. 2007. Fröplantager – anläggning och skötsel [Seed orchards – establishment and management]. SkogForsk, Handledning, 99 pp. (In Swedish).

Some decades ago seed orchards were more "popular" here is a book from FAO 1993
