The Marcel Breuer Digital Archive represents a collaborative effort headed by Syracuse University Libraries
to digitize over 70,000 drawings, photographs, letters and other materials related to the career of Marcel Breuer,
one of the most influential architects and furniture designers of the twentieth century. The first phase of this
NEH-funded project culminated in the UNESCO headquarters designed by Breuer in the mid-1950s. The second phase of
the project was committed to the digitization of materials related to the second half of his career (1953-1981).
The Marcel Breuer Digital Archive is now providing access to over 120,000 digital images covering the whole of the
life’s work of Marcel Breuer.
