A. Alfred Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning (University of Michigan) records, 1876-[ongoing].

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78643217

The records are organized according to five separate accessions. While primarily comprised of documentation in the form of minutes, dean's files, and topical files, the record group also contains photographs and several oversized folders of architectural drawings. The latter are mainly unrealized designs for buildings housing the college. The Minutes series includes bound volumes and unbound files of the minutes of meetings of the executive committee and of the faculty. Dean's files that are well-represented include records from the tenures of Wells Ira Bennett, Reginald Malcomson, Robert C. Metcalf, and Robert Beckley. The National Architectural Accrediting Board series is comprised of correspondence relating to national accreditation and includes detailed evaluation reports. Day to day workings of the college are documented in an Administrative series. Collected material related to Raoul G. Wallenberg, a graduate of the college, include a documentary of his life, photographs, and transcripts of lectures from a series named in his honor.

54.5 linear ft., 1 oversized box, 1 flat file drawer.
