Architecture guides are often the only resource for factual information about some buildings or regions. There are architecture guides in print for many U.S. states, which are cataloged in the NA730 section. Many U.S. cities, large and small, also have their own guides (NA735 section).
This short list of journals provides a sampler of architectural scholarship, and representations of architecture and the built environment, during the Progressive, Modern, Postmodern, and contemporary eras.
