Scope and content:

Series III contains architect research files that Huxtable maintained, with documentation spanning the careers of some of the most prominent architects of the 20th century. The files represent her meticulous research habits of saving all materials related to a particular architect or firm such as publicity materials, brochures, biographical/firm files, announcements, typescripts or drafts of essays, clippings or entire issues of journals, letters, slide carousel lists, photographs and sometimes architectural plans. Clippings of articles by Huxtable have been noted.

Some of Huxtable's most robust files are for: Tadao Ando; Norman Foster; Frank Gehry; Herzog & de Meuron; Johnson & Burgee; Le Corbusier; Richard Meier; Ludwig Mies van der Rohe; Renzo Piano; Eero Saarinen; Skidmore Owings and Merrill; Minoru Yamasaki.

Arrangement:

Architect files are in alphabetical order. Files maintain Huxtable's original order and include some subject research files for this reason. Firm names are filed in direct order. For each architect, projects are organized roughly chronologically with undated and general files at the end. Projects are assigned to firms as originally filed by Huxtable.
