There is an excellent selection of historical, biographical, and reference works for the subject of architecture. The collection also features material on urban design and planning and landscape architecture. Architecture journals include titles from Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom, with some titles having continuous holdings for over a century e.g. Architectural Review (London).
The general architectural collection is enhanced by the considerable architectural resources pertaining to Queensland architecture.
The John Oxley Library collection also holds architectural plans, diaries and papers of early Queensland architects.
