Fay Jones collection, 1935-2005

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/318927741

The collection is a complete record of Jones's teaching, his practice, his philosophy of architecture, and his skill as an artist. Personal material includes biographical information from Jones's childhood through his World War II service to his academic and professional associations and interests. Professional materials include a large series of project files generated by his office in Fayetteville, Arkansas. Jones began designing several residences in collaboration with other young architects in 1950. He opened his official practice, Fay Jones, Architect, in 1954. In 1977 it became Fay Jones and Associates, and in 1986, with his partner Maurice Jennings, the name was changed to Jones and Jennings. Materials documenting 226 building projects from 1950 to 1998 include correspondence, construction schedules, notes, sketches, reports, and product literature. Over 22,000 separate sheets of drawings illustrate the development of projects from conceptual sketches to presentation and construction drawings. Unmeasured line drawings of many projects can be found in Photo Mechanical Transfer (PMT) format. Over 20,000 slides and photographs record Jones's architectural creations and travels. Recorded interviews and audio-visual items featuring Fay Jones discussing his work are in VHS and DVD formats. In the academic records, one can find early project ideas, lecture notes, class rosters, and University of Arkansas School of Architecture administrative records. In addition there are numerous carefully kept appointment books, registration certificates, sketch books, and phone messages which provide details not found elsewhere. Printed resources include: posters from seminars and meetings, magazines that feature Jones's work, clippings, and a portion of Jones's own library.
