Secondary sources are materials that interpret, analyze, or synthesize information from primary sources. Scholarly architecture articles and books are examples of secondary sources relevant to architectural research.

The Art & Architecture Collection is located in the north wing of the second floor of Norlin Library. The collection houses one of the most comprehensive art library collections in the Mountain West. The Art & Architecture Collection contains approximately 100,000 volumes of reference works, monographs, exhibition catalogues. We subscribe to well over 200 journals and serials.

You can search the Library Catalog for books on your topic, but if you'd like to browse the Art and Architecture Collection by architectural history period, you can do that by call number. A call number is a combination of letters and numbers which identifies the location and subject matter of books.
