Collections at
CEPT Archives
The collections at the Archives are divided between material acquired from the CEPT University called CEPT Repository, and material acquired from independent practices across the country called Professional Practitioners. These collections are supported by Oral Histories i.e., audio-visual recordings of interviews of eminent practitioners from the said collection. Oral histories aim at recording the memories of valuable and varied experiences of professionals, which otherwise would go unrecorded and be lost in time. The other collection titled Special Collection represents emerging techniques of architectural representation, print culture, and evolving trends in the field of architecture and allied disciplines.
