In 1990, Moshe Safdie, the McGill-trained architect, author and educator, generously donated his archives as an on-going bequest to the Canadian Architecture Collection (CAC) at McGill University. The Safdie Archive, the largest of the 75 fonds of major Canadian architects administered by the CAC, is one of the most extensive individual collections of architectural documentation in Canada. Consisting of more than 100,000 drawings, well over a hundred linear metres of project files, more than a hundred sketchbooks, extensive photographic documentation, hundreds of presentation boards and some models, the Archive records the progression of Safdie's career from his first unpublished university papers and design projects to the present. Accompanied by extensive audio-visual material, the Safdie Archive provides numerous opportunities for students and researchers to examine not only the work of Moshe Safdie, but the nature and scope of contemporary architectural documentation as well. Updates for more recent competitions and projects in progress are now also represented in the Moshe Safdie Hypermedia Archive.
