A Guide to the Virginia Room Map and Oversized Materials Collection

This is a guide to the Virginia Room Map Collection, including oversized documents, architectural drawings, and original newspapers.  Most Virginia Counties and Cities are included, as well as some areas of surrounding states.  If you are interested in viewing materials in this collection, note the cabinet, drawer, folder, and item number to present to staff for retrieval.
**Please note the following:**
Maps and oversized items cannot be scanned.
Architectural drawings consist primarily of public buildings in the City of Roanoke.  The Virginia Room does not have plans for other private residences.  Architectural drawings drafted by Eldon Karr include 21 residences, which are the only residential drawings in the collection.
