BLACKADER-LAUTERMAN LIBRARY OF ART AND ARCHITECTURE The following images are taken from the minutes of the Purchasing Committee of the Blackader-Lauterman Library of Art and Architecture during the committee's first four years of operation. Ramsay Traquair served as chair and secretary of this important committee, which was in charge of generating and spending funds for the library and approved acquisitions through gift and purchase. The minutes document the growth of the library's collection in both the field of art and architecture. Traquair was particularly attentive to the development of the latter collection, and the committee, as the minutes note, was even willing on one occasion to lend the Architectural Department $100.00 for the purchase of text books. |
