Scope and Content of the Collection
The records in the collection generally span from 1922 to 1971 (however there are also several records from the 1980s to 2011). As well as the published newsletters, these records include original photographs, prints, negatives, architectural drawings and plans, correspondence, notes and papers that document the history of architectural developments in Australia and the history of the Cross Section Digitisation Project.About the Project
In 2012, the records in the Cross Section Collection were formally documented in a joint project run by the Faculty of Architecture, Building and Planning, the Architecture Building and Planning Library, and the eScholarship Research Centre (ESRC) at The University of Melbourne. This work involved the registration, description and digitisation of the Cross Section newsletters and the original photographs that were published in the newsletters. This work was carried out by Victoria Gurr who published the first incarnation of the open and online Cross Section Finding Aid. In 2018, the remaining records in the collection were formally documented and incorporated into the Finding Aid by ESRC Archivist Winsome Adam in collaboration with Architecture Librarian Sophie Kollo. During this work, the entirety of the records in the Cross Section Collection was registered and documented and the Finding Aid was regenerated into its current form. The physical collection comprises 22 photograph folders and 14 boxes. The collection is housed in the Architecture Library at The University of Melbourne in Parkville, VIC. Requests for access to the physical collection should be made to the Architecture Building and Planning Library.Copyright
