Daniel C. Dunham (1929-2000) was an architect, consultant, inventor, and educator best known for his architectural works in East Pakistan/Bangladesh and his consultancy work in developing nations throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. He was a professor at Columbia University and the City College of New York where he taught courses on solar energy, urban planning and tropical architecture. This collection documents Dunham's long-spanning and multi-faceted career. The collection consists primarily of papers from his consultancy and university work, though his early architectural work is present, mainly in photographic formats.

An American architect and urban planner, Shadrach Woods was a student of Le Corbusier and worked extensively throughout North Africa, France, Germany and New York City on projects ranging from low-cost housing developments to university campuses. Also highly regarded as a critic and theorist, Woods taught at Harvard and Yale and lectured and published widely. The collection represents the span of Woods' life and career through papers, photographs, architectural drawings, writings, and published materials. A small group of materials documents his childhood and education through personal papers and photographs. However, the bulk of the collections relates to his professional work and collaborations.
