The Cross-Section Collection

Listed by Victoria Gurr, Winsome Adam and Sophie Kollo

Cross-Section was a newsletter published by the Department of Architecture at the University of Melbourne from November 1952 until February-March 1971. The Cross-Section Collection comprises every issue of the published newsletter as well as many of the original photographs and records that were sent in to the editors by architects, builders and designers from across Australia. As well as the complete set of newsletters, the collection includes more than 4000 photographs and numerous negatives, correspondence and papers which, together, offer a fascinating overview of the history of mid-twentieth century architecture in Australia.
