���سԹ�

The Armson Collins Architectural Drawings Collection is just one excellent example of future research potential. The Collection represents a wealth of possible research projects, particularly now that the drawings have been digitised and are more easily accessible. Research questions could include: investigating the nature of colonial architects working in Christchurch, the development of architectural firms as businesses, the use of architectural photography for recording purposes, or an examination of the growth of educational architecture in the province. The list is almost endless.

The main function of the ���سԹ� is to support learning and teaching at the ���سԹ�. Specialist library staff are experienced in working with undergraduate and postgraduate students helping them develop their ideas for research projects based on Macmillan Brown collections. Feedback from students and their lecturers clearly demonstrate the benefits derived from working with unique library materials.

Partnering with academic departments, the library supports College of Arts internships, and UC summer student scholarships, giving students hands on practical experience engaging in a variety of activities related to processing, managing, and interpreting archival collections. UC summer student scholarships are offered across a range of subjects and departments. They provide students with invaluable practical experience of focused research. This helps to develop the skills needed at honours and postgraduate level study.
