Description

This material has not yet been fully catalogued. Copyright, date, and quantity information for this record may be incomplete or inaccurate.

The main body of this extensive collection comprises architectural biographical files across a broad range of architects or designers from the Adams brothers to John Outram. There is also a series of thematic files on building types, materials and clients (eg. London Underground).

Created by Anthony Blee in relation to the work of the Blee Consultancy which provided authoritative documentation for a wide variety of public enquiries during 1960s -1990s. They contain mainly photocopies from existing published sources (eg. The Builder or Architectural Review) but also include information not available at RIBA or elsewhere. They provide an extensive secondary research resource. Both sets of files are stored alphabetically. There are 37 A3 format bound articles from RIBA Journal, The Builder etc. View links for a contents list of files.
