The process of researching an architectural structure can be challenging, and involves the use of specialized published materials. This guide discusses the strategies for such research, and identifies several key resources that can be found in The New York Public Library. In particular, the Art & Architecture Division has rich collections of materials of interest to architecture students and scholars, and those interested in learning more about the world around them.
