Harry Weese Papers, c. 1915-2004 (bulk 1937-1985).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/276393982

The collection includes notebooks, correspondence, clippings, printed matter, photographic material, drawings, legal documentation, financial documentation, unpublished manuscripts, handwritten notes, realia, and a scrapbook. The collection's most comprehensive material focuses on Weese's early architectural career (1937-1956), heavily documenting his school and fellowship research and writings, as well as his early residential projects in the Midwest. There are photocopied architectural sketches of some later projects, including the Ghana Embassy project, Expo 1992 proposal, and Federal Triangle proposal. Personal material and his notebooks also constitute a significant portion of this collection.

22 boxes (18 linear feet), 1 portfolio, 2 oversized portfolios.
