Recordings
The Sound and Video Collection – about 800 titles – includes recordings of lectures, conferences and public reviews held at the School of Architecture from 1975 to the present. This archive consists of several different analog media formats (such as Cassette Tape, Hi-8, VHS), as well as born-digital files. The VRC is currently engaged in a digitization project to preserve these recordings and make them accessible on DVD and the web. Currently, all recordings are available upon request, and an online catalog is in development.
