Description

North America has seen real growth in the activity and value placed on the archiving of architectural materials. But whereas Japan has maintained a strong tradition of preserving its cultural legacies, architecture and its documents have not been among them. There is not a single architectural archive in Japan. In June 1996,1 began working as an intern at Columbia University's architectural drawings collection in the Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library. I also had the opportunity to travel through out North America to visit and investigate architectural archives. My specific goal has been to gather information and strategies that will motivate and guide the establishment of architectural archives in Japan. Inthis article, I introduce the roles and activities of the architectural archives inthe US and Canada.
