Abstract
AbstractSpecial collections have an important role to play in architectural education. This article describes the ways in which the Canadian Architect photography collection housed at the Ryerson University Library Special Collections was utilized to support teaching and learning in a required introductory architecture course for students enrolled in the Bachelor of Architectural Science program. In collaboration with the subject librarian and the special collections librarian, the course instructor prepared and issued an assignment which provided students with online digital images of extant buildings and required them to research a range of materials and critically comment on their findings. Student outcomes demonstrate how rare and valued architectural photographs can be integrated as a research and teaching tool into the larger context of architectural education.
