Alan Colquhoun papers, 1942-2010

10 document boxes 7 rolls

This collection is composed primarily of correspondence, memoranda, course material, photographs, drawings and slides. The collection is broken down into personal and academic papers. The academic papers pertain mainly to Colquhoun's career as a writer and theoretician and professor at Princeton University's School of Architecture. The personal papers consist mainly of correspondences with friends and family, as well as notebooks, which Colquhoun kept from the 1940s. The visual materials (photographs and drawings) straddle the two categories. Many of the photographs were taken by Colquhoun himself, to be used later in his teaching, while the drawings consist of both student work and reproductions of works from his practice with John Miller. For the majority of the collection, Colquhoun's folder titles have been maintained and the material has been arranged chronologically. The collection is arranged into four series.

Colquhoun, Alan, 1921-

This collection is composed primarily of correspondence, memoranda, course material, photographs, drawings and slides. The collection is broken down into personal and academic papers. The academic papers pertain mainly to Colquhoun's career as a writer and theoretician and professor at Princeton University's School of Architecture. The personal papers consist mainly of correspondences with friends and family, as well as notebooks, which Colquhoun kept from the 1940s. The visual materials (photographs and drawings) straddle the two categories. Many of the photographs were taken by Colquhoun himself, to be used later in his teaching, while the drawings consist of both student work and reproductions of works from his practice with John Miller. For the majority of the collection, Colquhoun's folder titles have been maintained and the material has been arranged chronologically. The collection is arranged into four series.

    Series III: Visual Material

    Comprised of three subseries: Photographs, Slides, Drawings, and DVDs. The majority of the photographs are personal documentation of Colquhoun's travels in India, while others include miscellaneous personal prints of friends and family. The slides depict architecture exclusively, and were presumably used both for publication and teaching purposes. They were arranged by Colquhoun himself, for most often by architect, location or movement, and his arrangement has been kept wherever discernable. The DVD's contain photographs and video, while the drawing series includes, on the one hand, Colquhoun's school work and on the other, reproductions of drawings by Colquhoun + Miller.
