Library Architecture at Yale
Yale University Library is pleased to announce the publication of the
first volume of Yale Library Studies, a new annual series that succeeds
the Yale University Library Gazette, which was published from 1926 to
2008. Taking Library Architecture at Yale as its theme and subtitle,
the first volume features drawings, designs, and photographs of Yale
libraries by James Gamble Rogers, Bertram Grosvenor Goodhue, Paul
Rudolph, Gordon Bunshaft, and many other distinguished architects.
Essays by Robert A.M. Stern, Charles Gwathmey, Marjorie Wynne, Mark
Simon, Margaret K. Powell, Danuta A. Nitecki, Aric Lasher, and Laura
Tatum explore a of range of topics including library architecture
history, space and renovation planning, sustainable design, and Yale's
architectural archives. Library Architecture at Yale presents a unique
record of the buildings that have housed the Yale Library and its
collections over the past three hundred years. It was edited by
Geoffrey Little, with an introduction by Alice Prochaska.
Future volumes of Yale Library Studies are being planned on the themes of collections and the collectors who built them, and teaching and learning with collections.
