These sketches were commissioned for an article on UBC in the ILN, 22 September 1956 (pages 467-470). Some have captions or notes attached, and notes on the verso regarding those printed in the ILN. The Library acquired them in January 1991. The drawings include the UBC Library's interior, the Library from the outside, the exterior of the Science Building, view looking north from the top of the Science Building, Brock Hall, the War Memorial Gym, the Wesbrook building, and an experiment in a laboratory in the Science Building.

The fonds consists of feasibility studies, proposals, functional programs, reports, plans, proposals, lists, drawings, estimates, briefs, design guidelines and agreements generated by Campus and Community Planning between 1959 and 2006. It is arranged into the following six series: Proposals (1959-2006); Agreements (1967-1971, 1994); Projects Status Reports (1981-1983); Building Costs Analysis (1969-1986); Miscellaneous (ca. 1968-1997) and photographic images (1925, 1983, 1991-1996).

Fonds consists of materials that document the personal and professional activities of Abraham Rogatnick and includes handwritten notes and notebooks on historical and architectural subjects, index cards, typewritten speeches, writings, correspondence, and photographs. There are four series: Notes and Architectural Sketches, Photographs, Notebooks and Binders, and Personal Materials and Writing.
