Architects Archives

From some individual architects the Library has received extensive archives containing documents, letters, records, scrapbooks etc More

Focus

Best represented are a number of architects of the 20th century, such as Ivar Bentsen, Kaare Klint, Kaj Gottlob, Kay Fisker, C.Th. Sørensen, Inger & Johannes Exner and others.

Use

Archives are often of incalculable value when preparing monographs on the artists concerned, or if precise details of an individual building are required. As the archives are not registered in detail a substantial amount of time must often be set aside to go through them.

How do I find them?

Searching is via the Library database using architect's name and "forretningsarkiv"
