Processing Information
This collection was previously titled: JMU Architectural Drawings Collection, 1914-1983 and numbered FM 2006-1207. In 2018,
all rolled drawings were flattened and placed in a map case with the rest of the collection.
Due to the nature of this collection, a historical note is not applicable. Patrons are encouraged to refer to the bibliography
for further historical information pertaining to specific James Madison University campus buildings included in the collection.
The Harrisonburg High School (now Memorial Hall) drawings became property of James Madison University after the university
purchased the high school in 2006.
Facilities Management Architectural Drawings, 1914-1983, are comprised of blueprints, pencil tracings, and linen drawings
of various JMU buildings, their corresponding mechanical systems, floor plans, and campus grounds. The collection contains
architectural plans of Alumnae Hall, Dormitory #5, Harrisonburg High School (currently Memorial Hall), the Home Economics
Building (currently Moody Hall), Miller Hall, the Practice House (currently Varner House), the Students' Building (currently
Harrison Hall), and topographic drawings of Madison College. The plans were created on four different surfaces: pencil on
linen, ink on linen, pencil on tracing paper, and carbon copy paper.
The collection is arranged alphabetically by the building name listed on the drawing and then separated by material type.
Items that are undersized or of a fragile nature are housed in subfolders.
