The International Archive of Women in Architecture (IAWA) was established in 1985 as a joint program of the College of Architecture and Urban Studies and the University Libraries at Virginia Tech. The IAWA began by collecting the papers of those who practiced at a time when there were few women in the field (i.e., before the 1950s). The IAWA, however, now collects the records of women working in the design fields of the built environment to fill the serious gaps in the availability of primary research materials for architectural, women's, and social history research. The purpose of the collection is to document the history of women's involvement in architecture by acquiring, preserving, storing, and making available the professional papers of women architects, landscape architects, designers, architectural historians and critics, urban planners, and the records of their organizations.
Notable Collections include: Lois Gottlieb of San Francisco, a residential designer and author. Louise Hall, long-time member of AIA North Carolina, taught architecture at Duke 1931-1973, and mentored many architects and scholars. L. Jane Hastings, Seattle architect and founder of the Hastings Group. Anna Keichline, architect and inventor, first registered woman architect in Pennsylvania and inventor of the K-brick. Yasmin Lari, first registered woman architect in Pakistan and principal of Lari Associates, Architects & Urban Designers. Elsa Leviseur practiced and taught internationally in South Africa, California, and England. Eleanore Pettersen, first woman in New Jersey to open her own architectural office. Sigrid Lorenzen Rupp, German-born architect, practiced in Palo Alto, California. Han Schroeder, Dutch architect and Professor of Interior Design at the New York Institute of Technology and Virginia Commonwealth University. Beverly Willis, FAIA, artist, craftswoman, designer, and nationally recognized San Francisco architect. Zelma Wilson, FAIA, architect in Ojai, California. Liane Zimbler, first registered women architect in Austria and later an interior designer in Los Angeles, California. See the IAWA guide to collections below for a complete list of holdings in the International Archive of Women in Architecture.
As part of its mission to also serve as a clearinghouse of information about women in architecture, past and present, the IAWA collects publications written by or about women architects, designers, and planners. These publications are accessible through Addison, Virginia Tech library's online catalog. See for example An Emancipated Place: Women in Architecture, 2000 plus: A Conference on the Work of Women Architects: Focus South Asia and Big Little Knob: Student Life of Frank Lloyd Wright Woman Architect Nobuko Tsuchiura, donated by the authors, Japanese architects, Atsko Tanaka and Nobuko Ogawa. The IAWA compiles biographical information, available to the public in the IAWA Biographical Database. Some materials have been digitized and are available through the VT ImageBase. Patrons wishing to see the archival materials should contact the Virginia Tech's Special Collections or refer to the IAWA on the Internet.
