Architecture Educational Collection

This collection of architectural drawings was assembled in the Architecture and Fine Arts Library at the University of Florida to support education and research needs at UF. Many of the designs and plans were created or collected as part of the Historic American Building Survey (HABS) in the 1960s and 1970s. Numerous cities and counties in Florida are well represented, including St. Augustine, Pensacola, Key West, Tampa, etc. Some of the drawings are reproductions of WPA drawings from the 1930s. Most are blueprints and blue-line working drawings, but there are a small number of original drawings (e.g., pencil on trace paper). The drawings represent a large number of architects and firms, including Frank Lloyd Wright, Paul Rudolph, Alfred Browning Parker, Hershel Shepard, and many others. The drawings and sheets are numbered, but there are some gaps in the numbering. Some folders contain single sheets, while others contain sets of drawings consisting of multiple sheets. Some of the sets are stored rolled.
