Architectural drawings (prints), photographs, slides, maps, art and architectural books (transferred to the Architecture and Planning Library Special Collections) cover the core subjects of European architecture of the 19th and 20th centuries, particularly the Austrian Secession and the German Jugendstil. The materials were collected by Professor Kermacy during his tenure as a Fulbright Lecturer at the Technische Hochschule Wien during 1955 and 1956. In addition, the collection includes 92 exhibition panels for "Art Nouveau and Vienna Secession. From Otto Wagner to Adolf Loos." Lastly, there are reports and drawings of students of Kermacy as well as drawings from Kermacy's professional practice.
