Drawings and Archives

Three objects from the RIBA's Edwin Landseer Lutyens Collection.

The Drawings and Archives Collections, part of the British Architectural Library, manages and makes its collections available through its Study Rooms at the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A). As part of the V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership, we also make the collections accessible through exhibitions and an education programme at the V&A. In addition, we lend our collections to museums and institutions in the UK and worldwide.

The Collections consist of architectural drawings (from single drawings to complete archives, and including volumes and sketchbooks), written documents including the RIBA's administrative archive, models, drawing instruments, portraits, medals, furniture and objects associated with architects.

Access to the Collection is via the Library's online catalogue. Some of the drawings and archives have been digitised and are available on www.ribapix.com|.

If you require further information about any of our holdings or services, please do not hesitate to contact us.
