This virtual talk, organised by the ICA Section on Architectural Records (SAR), will explore the countless problems, challenges and potential opportunities presented by the personal archives of architects to the information services where they are located or to recipients intending to use them. This session will take place on Monday 4 December 2023 at 18:00 CET (Paris time).
Paulo Batista will lead this session in a discussion of how complexities ranging from variations in the size, format, and volume of the personal archives of architects can have profound consequences for their accessibility and conservation.
