Architectural Drawings of RISD Buildings

RISD Archives (Fleet Library, 2nd floor) has a collection of 12,000 drawings (originals and copies) of RISD buildings. The drawings are indexed in a searchable Filemaker pro database by the following information: drawing title, document type, information about the creator(s) of the drawings, dates, building name, location, and type, number of sheets, scale, and a short descriptive note.

See Architectural Drawings Collection for a detailed description.

An overhead scanner allows Archives staff to provide copies as long as a CD, DVD, or USB device is provided. Students, faculty, and researches are welcome to use the collection by appointment.
