Architectural Drawings Collection at VT
The Art & Architecture Library houses a collection of approximately 500 architectural working drawings. Coverage ranges from local campus buildings to national airports, libraries, museums, and residences.
We are currently in the process of digitizing the architectural drawings collection. You can request access to digitized versions of the drawings by emailing Sarah Stanley (sarahstanley@vt.edu). Some digitized drawings are also available on JSTOR.
Physical drawings do not circulate and must be used in the library between 9am - 5pm Monday through Friday.
The List of Architectural Drawings provides a complete list of drawings. Use the tabs at the bottom to sort by Structure, Creator, or Location.
Images
Many museums, universities, libraries, and historical societies have image collections online. These types of collections will usually be higher resolution than images found through a general web search. Regardless of where you find an image, always check the usage permissions and cite the source.
