Special Collections
The rare books collection was started in 2004 as part of the Barbara and Leonard Littman Architecture Library. Its establishment was possible thanks to the generous support of the Bay Foundation. The collection includes rare, out of print, and scarce materials (books, pamphlets, and maps) which date from eighteenth through the twentieth centuries. The holdings may be located by searching the online library catalog. Access to the collection is open to university students, faculty, and the general public. Use of materials and photocopying may be limited by preservation considerations. |
The Library has a collection of visual materials: architectural drawings, renderings, prints, photographs, postcards, and maps which date back to 1800s. The majority of them is related to Newark and New Jersey history and architecture. Some materials in the collection became a part of the Digital Archive of Newark Architecture (DANA) |
Materials Library is a collection of material samples that has been created to support all programs in the Robert and Barbara Hillier College of Architecture and Design. The scope of materials is constantly extending. The Library also subscribes to the MaterialConnexion database. Materials Collections research guide contains more information about resources that support the study in this area. |
These are just a selection of books written by the College of Architecture and Design faculty. Watch this space in the future for additional information and lists.
