COLLECTIONS RELATING TO ART AND ARCHITECTURE
Queen's Library's primary collection supporting the University's fine arts, art history and art conservation programmes is located in the Stauffer Library Art Collection.
In addition, however, Jordan Library Special Collections houses over 2,500 of the Library's most valuable books on art and architecture, with some emphasis on Canadiana and pre-1800 imprints. The Friends of the Library Collection in Architectural History consists of works by Andrea Palladio, Christopher Wren, and others.
Queen's University Archives also holds a large number of plans and drawings of local Kingston architecture, notably material by William Coverdale, William Newlands, and John and Joseph Power.
