Other than the 8,500 original works the AD&A also possesses over 1,000,000 architectural drawings, historic photographs, writings, scrapbooks, and three-dimensional objects in the Architecture and Design Collection.[2]
The museum's digital collections were enhanced during the COVID-19 crisis so that audiences could continue to enjoy its resources while quarantine was in place.[3]
