http://www.oac.cdlib.org/ark:/13030/kt2v19r57m

Papers and manuscripts of the German-born art and architecture historian (1902-1983). Papers date primarily from the years following Pevsner’s immigration to England in 1933, and include written and visual materials used for lectures or as research for his many books and articles. Files related to Pevsner’s radio lectures and affiliations document his career as a public figure, and correspondence tracks his relationships with many key figures in 20th-century art and architecture.
