The AA Archives
The Architectural Association Archives consist of 500 cubic feet of documents and in excess of 2000 architectural drawings, paintings and works on paper. It documents the administrative and educational history of the AA and acts to preserve examples of the Association's material culture and graphic output. The process of gathering together and listing all surviving material was started in 2007 and a long-term cataloguing project is underway to make accessible the Archives' complete holdings and ongoing accessions.
