Architectural Archiving
Architectural archiving is the process of preserving and cataloging information related to a building’s design, construction, and history. This process may include collecting photographs, drawings, blueprints, documents, and other materials related to the building. The goal of architectural archiving is to preserve the building’s history and to provide information to those researching the building. Architectural archiving is important for preserving the history of a building, which can help inform future design decisions, as well as provide insight into the original design.
Preservation, documentation, records, history, research.
