Image collections hosted by the University Libraries are contained in our Image & Multimedia Collections site. There are many collections containing digital architectural images, from historical monuments to modern structures. The most efficient way to find images is by doing a keyword search within the Image and Multimedia site, listed on the left side of the Encore/Quick Search page. It is also possible to do a keyword search in Encore and limit by Visual Material.
