Collection Catalogues

Catalogs that inventory a museum’s art and artifacts are now maintained online, where they can be efficiently updated and augmented. These books range from simple catalogs documenting a museum’s holdings to inspired interpretations of core collections or an individual collector’s singular vision. Three volumes drawn from the Architecture and Design Collection at the University of California, Santa Barbara, offer only a glimpse of its rich archive of more than 200 architects who practiced in Southern California.
