Abstract: In canonical quantum gravity certain topological properties of 3-manifolds are of interest. This article gives an account of those properties which have so far received sufficient attention, especially those concerning the diffeomorphism groups of 3-manifolds. We give a summary of these properties and list some old and new results concerning them. The appendix contains a discussion of the group of large diffeomorphisms of the $l$-handle 3-manifold.
