Description: | The Domestic Design Collection 1870-1960 (previously called the British and American Domestic Design Archive) consists of over 4,000 books, catalogues, and items of printed ephemera relating to domestic architecture and interior decoration. Most is British but there is a small section elating to the USA.
About 2,000 items came from the Silver Studio but a further 1,000 were collected and donated by David Cheshire, the former Art and Design Librarian of Hornsey College of Art and his colleagues. An important component of this collection, donated by members of the public, is an archive of source material relating to the growth of suburban London, especial in North London, consisting of brochures and publicity material produced by property developers, builders and estate agents. | Source: | Cornucopia - Discovering UK Collections | Address: | Middlesex University,
