The Architecture Library's collection was begun in 1929 and the branch facility established in 1930. It now occupies approximately 4700 square feet on the east side of the Greene Building's third floor. The physical collection has grown to 30,000 print titles housed in the facility and over 100,000 slides. The graphic collections now include an increasing number of digitized images, and multi-media material on architecture, design and the visual arts, as well as traditional maps, drawings, prints, photographs and microform collections. The library frequently receives a Capital District Library Council grant to purchase architectural materials. These funds have enabled the architecture librarian to purchase materials of a more popular nature for various age groups and to serve a diverse group of users throughout the Capital District.
