Short Introduction

The Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA) was founded in 1979 as a new form of cultural institution to build public awareness of the role of architecture in society, promote scholarly research in the field, and stimulate innovation in design practice.

The CCA research Collection does not hold only photographs but also publications, conceptual studies, drawings, plans, models, prints, architectural archives, related artifacts and ephemera. The collection includes 100,000 prints and drawings, more than 60,000 photographs, 150 archives, 215,000 volumes, and over 5,000 periodical titles.

The Muybridge collection includes 2 panoramas of San Francisco, 8 photographs of architecture in Central America and California and 9 books about Muybridge.
