Australian Architectural Index

Full description

Information on over 45,000 architectural items across Australia. Originally prepared in 1976-1986 by Prof Miles Lewis with funding from the National Estate Program, the University of Melbourne, and the Australian Research Council. Digitised in 2008-2009 under a grant from the Vera Moore Trust. Filemaker database. Columns on tables list: Record number; building type; state; old and new municipality; owner; street number; architect; date; documentation; illustrations. "The Australian Architectural Index covers tender notices, published descriptions of buildings, illustrations, biographical details of architects and other material. Although it is Australia-wide in coverage, the bulk of the content so far is Victorian (and proposals to link other data bases in Australia will be welcome). It is strongest for the period about 1840 to 1910, but includes some later material."
