The Archivision Research Library is a unique collection of high quality images – photographed by a professional photographer, trained as an architect, and past Visual Resource curator.

Each site documentation is extensive – intending to provide for in-depth visual research and analysis by students of architecture, landscape architecture, urban planning, archaeology, art and art history.

A core architecture collection covering important Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th and 19th Century, Islamic and Modern sites, gardens, parks and works of public art. The Library can only be licensed in modules, starting with the Base Collection of 16,000 images. The Library currently expands each year via Addition Modules of 3,000 images each. Each Module contains a mix of material spanning multiple countries and time periods to enhance its use in all curricula. No images are repeated.
