Philadelphia Architects & Buildings Project

The Philadelphia Architects & Buildings Project is a cooperative effort between the Athenæum, The University of Pennsylvania, The Philadelphia Historical Commission, and the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission.  It contains information on buildings, architects, and the architectural collections of over 25 local institutions.  Use PAB to find drawings and photographs.

Athena Online Catalog

Athena is the Athenæum's library catalog.  Use it for finding books and trade materials.  Some architectural drawings and photographic collections are cataloged in Athena, but these are more easily searched in PAB.
