The Architectural Association Archives serve to document the administrative and educational history of the AA. They hold extensive collections of architectural drawings, posters and AA related ephemera, together with student and Association records dating back to 1847.

Given the AA’s significance within architectural developments over the last 160 years, the Archives provide a key research resource within the fields of architectural history and education.
