Series Abstract

The Scrapbooks series contains the contents of seventeen scrapbooks. Material was removed from the scrapbooks and photo albums and rehoused in mylar sleeves and acid free folders. Six of the notebooks contained portfolios from different stages of Roessner's career (1955-1983), highlighting an assortment of projects. Three albums contained clippings, photographs and contest entry forms concerning design awards which Roessner won.

Two albums were dedicated to the Roland Gommel Roessner Centennial Professorship in Architecture which was established in 1983. Photographs were from the luncheon held in his honor; clippings, letters and brochures give further information about the award. Two notebooks contained photographs of Roessner's early work (1935-1942); most of the buildings are unidentified. Two notebooks were filled with newspaper and magazine clippings (1946-1980). One notebook was dedicated solely to the RGK Foundation Building. One scrapbook contained a varied assortment of photographs of people.
