Clara Scholtz (Yale University), “Yale Buildings and Grounds” (Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library)

Archivist Clara Scholtz will share insights on the work to refresh the collection of architectural maps of Yale University buildings and grounds, RU 1.

 

The materials consist of design, preliminary, working, shop, and “as built” architectural drawings and maps of buildings and grounds owned or used by Yale University. The drawings range from original concepts to full scale details of equipment and ornamentation. The media vary from water colors, pen and ink sketches, pencil on tracing paper drawings to blueprints and photostats.

 

 

Mondays at Beinecke online talks focus on materials from the collections and include an opening presentation at 4pm followed by conversation and Q & A beginning about 4:30pm until 5pm. Episodes are generally recorded and published on the library’s YouTube channel within a few weeks of the original live program.
