PIRC Highlight: Widener Libary
Learn more...

The PIRC's online catalog currently contains two collections: Architectural & Technical Drawings, primarily relating to buildings and interiors, and Maps, Surveys & Infrastructure Drawings, primarily relating to land and infrastructure. (For more information about these collections, click on the hypertext links above or go to http://www.upo.harvard.edu/pirc/wwh/whatwehave.html.)

This on-line resource enables patrons to search the entirety of PIRC's cataloged materials. “Cataloged” means that drawings have been inventoried, quality-controlled, and added to our on-line catalog by a member of the PIRC staff. All Maps, Surveys, & Infrastructure drawings are cataloged, as are approximately 60% of the 90,000 + drawings in the Architectural & Technical Drawings collection. “Uncataloged” Architectural & Technical Drawings materials have been inventoried to varying degrees. PDFs of these historic inventories are available on the Building Drawing Index page, where buildings may be located by building name, building number, or building root number.

Reviewing our policies for ordering reproductions before you search will ensure the most efficient service.
