Charles W. 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 archive is located in the Charles W. Moore Room in Battle Hall, which was designed by Cass Gilbert. The 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 and even 16mm films.

Charles W. Moore Bibliographic Archive
For several years, the foundation Director, Kevin Keim, has been building an archive of all the publications—books, magazines, journals, and newspapers—that covered Charles Moore's work.
The database now includes over 2,000 entries.
For every entry, we try to obtain a pristine-condition copy of each publication, so that visiting scholars will be able to examine original resources.
If you would like to visit the Bibliographic Archive for research, or if you have any questions about entries, please contact Kevin Keim.
