Archives & Collections
The mission of the Architectural Archives Committee is to identify, locate and place hand drawn architectural collections of significant Architects and Works located in Arizona by partnering with the Arizona Archive Community. The AAC is interested in practitioners, firms and works through out the state. We are currently monitoring over a dozen collections, with about 1/3 in Tucson and 2/3 in the Phoenix area.
