There are several databases that may have journal articles about architects and architecture. You will need a valid Library Card to use the databases from home.
Go to the Architecture Databases list.
To get started, try these databases:
Tip: When using a database, keep your search focused. Use the building name and/or the architect's name. A search for "architecture" would result in way too many hits.
If you found the journal on the web, go to the Journal Locator to find out if the Library has journal online or in paper or microfilm.
Tip: When you are using the Journal Locator, type in the name of the JOURNAL or MAGAZINE that your article appears in.
If you are using one of the Library's article databases, click on the FIND THIS! link in the article citation. This will tell you if the Library has it someplace else. If we don't have it, then click on InterLibrary Loan in the Find This! window. All of the article information will be filled in for you. Just add your library card number!
There are links to several excellent image databases on the Images Databases Page.
Tip: Be careful when you are using online image search engines like Google Images. Sometimes people don't label their photos correctly. Confirm what your building looks like in a reputable source first!
