Acquisition Information

This collection of 2,253 slides was given to the UC Berkeley Department of City & Regional Planning in 1965 by Denise Scott Brown. These slides are duplicates of Brown's collection of teaching slides. The collection was subsequently given to the Architecture Visual Resources Library in the 1980s. At AVRL, some of the slides were digitized, cataloged, and integrated in to the circulating collection while the rest were kept separate. When the AVRL became the CED VRC in the late 2000s, the Denise Scott Brown Collection of 35mm slides was re-integrated and the slides were sleeved, foldered, and boxed for archival storage. Some of the slides in the collection are missing, due to having been used in a circulating library for many years.

Scope and Content of Collection

This collection of 2,253 slides depicts cities and places in the United States and worldwide. The slide images feature both original photography by Denise Scott Brown and copy photography of maps, diagrams, and pictures from books, magazines, and other published material. These slides were used as teaching imagery to illustrate lectures presumably given when D.S. Brown taught at UC Berkeley's Department of City and Regional Planning in the late 1960s.
