Cowgill (1890-1975) graduated from the University of Illinois with a degree in Architecture and later received a master's degree from the same institution. In conjunction with an independent practice, Cowgill was in charge of teaching architectural design at Iowa State College for eight years until 1928. Changing universities, Cowgill founded the architectural engineering department at Virginia Polytechnic Institute (now Virginia Tech) in 1928 - establishing, at the time, the only architecture program in Virginia. Serving as head of the department for 28 years, Cowgill later became the namesake of the architecture building dedicated in 1960. During his time at Tech, Cowgill designed two houses in Blacksburg which are now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Besides teaching, Cowgill published  Architecture Practice  and  Building for Investment  and was highly involved in professional organizations. Cowgill's professional involvement is apparent in his 1950 tenure as the President of the National Council of Architecture Registration Boards (NCARB) and his designation as a fellow of the American Institute of Architects (FAIA). Cowgill acted as the editor for the AIA until his retirement in 1961. Clinton H. Cowgill spent his retirement years in La Jolla, California, with his wife, Mabel, until his death in 1975.","The guide to the Clinton H.

See the contents list below for more detail about the individual series.","The Personal Papers series contains Pettersen's family papers, biographical information, and personal correspondence (1963-1999). The series also contains a subseries of photographs and slides.","The subseries photographs/slides are divided further into Family Portraits and Photographs, Miscellaneous. The miscellaneous photographs are mostly unidentified snapshots. Major subjects present include: Altrusa meetings; Pettersen's barn/studio and pets; Pettersen's travels to visit friends; parties/gatherings; house models; Taliesin West Half Century celebration; and a visit to Frank Lloyd Wright's Grand Waikapu Country Club in Maui, Hawaii.","The Professional Papers series consists of material relating to Pettersen's participation in various professional and civic organizations, material (collected by Pettersen) documenting Frank Lloyd Wright and Taliesin, various awards received by Pettersen, correspondence, and general reference files.","Pettersen was active locally and nationally in professional organizations, as a member of the New Jersey Society of Architects and the American Institute of Architects, and in civic organizations, as a member of the Altrusa Club, YWCA, and the New Jersey State Council on the Arts. She was also involved in various local groups/projects, such as the Housing Development Corporation of Bergen County, Bergen Community College Women's Institute Advisory Council, and the Uniform Construction Code Advisory Board. Materials relating to these activities primarily include minutes, correspondence, agendas, reports, notes, and printed material.","Professional and civic awards presented to Pettersen.","Pettersen served as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright as part of the Taliesin Fellowship from 1941 to 1943. Over the years, she collected material, such as newspaper and magazine clippings, newsletters (Frank Lloyd Wright Building Conservancy and FLLW Update), documenting Frank Lloyd Wright, his buildings, and his legacy. She also collected material, such as correspondence, publications, and clippings relating to Taliesin Fellows.","The Office Records series consists of materials relating to the day to day operations of a private architectural practice including financial materials, exhibit materials, publicity, clippings and scrapbooks featuring Pettersen and her practice, and photographs.","The General subseries focuses on the daily operations of the practices with an emphasis on financial matters. Materials present include: invoices, architectural fees, budget correspondence, purchase order books (1972-2000) and appointment books (1993-1998).","The Clippings/Scrapbook subseries includes newspaper and magazine clippings (1957- 2000) about Pettersen and her practice, real estate ads for houses designed by Pettersen, and two scrapbooks compiled by Pettersen.","The Presentation Materials subseries contain exhibit boards, publicity, and other materials for three exhibits featuring Pettersen.","The Public Relations series contains materials relating to the promotion of Pettersen's practice including press clippings, correspondence between Pettersen and interviewers/media outlets, and photograph albums containing a selection of Pettersen's projects.","The Photographs subseries contain glass slides, photographs, and slides of a mixture of unidentified structures and buildings designed by Pettersen. The photographs are mostly snapshots and Polaroids.","The Computer Disks subseries contains 5 ¼-inch and 3 ½-inch diskettes. They contain office records and project files. 1986-1988 and undated","The Project Records series consists of files, specifications, drawings, and other material relating to over 650 design and construction projects carried by Pettersen with her consecutive firms Eleanore Pettersen Associates and Design Collaborative.","Arrangement note:  The  Project Index  is a way to organize the various formats of architectural records from the same project. The project index is organized alphabetically by client's last name and then by project number. Researchers should note that several distinct projects share project numbers. ","The Files subseries consists of standard forms of agreement, change orders, invoices for architectural service, applications and certificates of payment, specifications, photographs, notes, correspondence, drawings and sketches, purchase orders, job reports, schedules, and other material created by Pettersen (and, to a certain extent, her associates) in the course of work on various residential and commercial projects. Projects primarily include the design and construction of new residences, and additions and alterations to existing residences. Most projects are located in New Jersey although there are also projects in New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, Michigan, Colorado, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida. ","Pettersen classified some of her files as \"Dead Files.\" This classification has been retained and is indicated in the Project Index with an italicized box number. The \"Dead Files\" include boxes 40-47. ","The Specifications subseries consist primarily of master copies, but also some draft and office copies, of specifications for various projects. Copies of specifications can also be found in the Files subseries; these copies were maintained distinct from the project files and therefore seem to warrant arrangement as a separate subseries.","The Drawings subseries includes architectural plans and sketches on a variety of formats including trace paper, diazo prints, blueprints, and CAD drawings.","The Artifacts, Models series contains memorabilia, material samples, and models associated with Pettersen and her practice as well as Design Collaborative.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.
