Description How do you find out about historic buildings and places? A good place to start is with visual evidence.
Original drawings, topographical views, surveys, maps, photographs, and other historic visual sources help to support an understanding of how a building or location appears the way it does today.
Interpreting such material requires knowledge of historic design and mapping conventions, the place of the drawings in the construction process, the methods and techniques .
