Charles Moore Archive

When the Charles Moore Foundation was established in 1997, Moore’s personal and professional archive was entrusted to the University of Texas at Austin Alexander Architectural Archive for its long-term organization, care, and preservation.

The massive collection documents Moore’s work in architecture, education, and scholarship. The holdings include drawings, models, manuscripts, notes, correspondence, and other papers. The collection also includes tens of thousands of Moore’s 35mm travel slides.

Moore’s architectural library, although a part of the archive, is housed at the Moore/Andersson Compound. Completely cataloged and shelved in its original condition, the 6,000 volume Moore Library can be searched on UTNetCat.
