These records contain a composite of materials housed for a time within the College of Architecture and concern the work of R. Buckminster Fuller. A small portion of this collection is ephemeral in nature. Among these materials are memoranda from the Fuller Research Foundation, a lecture transcript published in vol. II of the 1967 edition of the Journal of environmental design, two news clippings [1956 and 1964] from local print media, two copies of original poems [one containing hand-written annotations by Fuller], as well as publications, promotional bulletins, and pamphlets that emphasize his many innovations. The bulk of this collection is a recorded lecture series [20 reel to reel tapes converted to cassette] that Fuller presented to the School of Architecture second year seminar students in February 1958.
