The Architecture Library's Cornell Collection
The Architecture Library at Chalmers has a special collection called the Cornell Collection. Originating in what was then the Department of Theory and History of Architecture, it is named after Elias Cornell who was professor at the department from 1965 to 1982 and played a major role in its construction.
The collection contains books and journals in architectural theory, architectural history, building history, art history and cultural history.
Elias Cornell (1916-2008) authored several books, the last of which - "The Room in Architecture" (1996) - he wrote at the age of 80.
The material in the Cornell collection is entered in the library database and currently comprises over 3,000 entries, which corresponds to approximately 105 shelf meters. The entire collection is stored in the Architecture Library's magazine and is available for loan.
