After meeting UCLA Chancellor Raymond B. Allen, Richard and Dione Neutra
decided to give their papers to UCLA about 1954. UCLA was thus among the first
institutions to collect a complete and large collection of modern architectural
drawings and related materials. In the 1970s under James V. Mink the department
added its first landscape architecture collection, the Edward Huntsman-Trout
papers. The Department has added many other collections since these, such
as the Lloyd Wright papers and A. Quincy Jones papers under head David S.
Zeidberg. The papers of UCLA's landscape architect Ralph D. Cornell also came
in the 1980s. He had been interviewed by the Oral History Program before that.
Some of the other architectural collections are mentioned here in notes, and
some will be featured again in subsequent 50th anniversary exhibits: A. Quincy
Jones, S. Charles Lee, Richard Neutra, and others.
