ARTstor: Architecture of California

ARTstor is partnering with Occidental College to share approximately 2,500 images of California architecture from the archives of Robert Winter in the Digital Library. A noted architectural historian, Winter photographed buildings and sites throughout California for over 40 years.

His photographs document major 19th and 20th century styles from Beaux-Arts to Art Deco, Spanish Colonial to Mission Revival, with a particular focus on the Arts and Crafts movement. Robert Winter's images are available due to the generous donation of his slide collection to Occidental College.

To view the Robert Winter: Architecture of California (Occidental College): go to the ARTstor Digital Library, browse by collection, and click "Robert Winter: Architecture of California (Occidental College)" or enter the keyword search: "robert winter".

Southwestern College library has a number of books written by Robert Winter. Search the Library Catalog to location these items.

To view ARTstor from off campus locations you need to create an ARTstor account at http://www.artstor.org/ from any computer on the Southwestern College campuses.
