  • Hugh Newell Jacobsen's (1929-2021) designs are notable for their careful proportions, elegant craftsmanship, and reinterpretation of traditional forms. A sampling of the drawings he produced for residential buildings in the Metropolitan Washington, D.C., area between 1964 and 1985 are represented in the Jacobsen Architectural Drawing Archive (Library of Congress). Jacobsen is known for his designs for single detached houses and public buildings as well as sensitive historic restorations throughout the world. Before opening his own firm in 1958, Jacobsen studied architecture at the University of Maryland (B.A., 1951), the Architectural Association School in London (1954), and Yale University (M. Arch., 1955). In addition, Jacobsen worked in the offices of Philip Johnson (1955), Keyes & Lethbridge (1957-1958), and for the U.S. Air Force (1955-1957).

Please use the following steps to determine whether you need to fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room to view the original item(s). In some cases, a surrogate (substitute image) is available, often in the form of a digital image, a copy print, or microfilm.

1. Is the item digitized? (A thumbnail (small) image will be visible on the left.)

   • Yes, the item is digitized. Please use the digital image in preference to requesting the original. All images can be viewed at a large size when you are in any reading room at the Library of Congress. In some cases, only thumbnail (small) images are available when you are outside the Library of Congress because the item is rights restricted or has not been evaluated for rights restrictions.

     As a preservation measure, we generally do not serve an original item when a digital image is available. If you have a compelling reason to see the original, consult with a reference librarian. (Sometimes, the original is simply too fragile to serve. For example, glass and film photographic negatives are particularly subject to damage. They are also easier to see online where they are presented as positive images.)

   • No, the item is not digitized. Please go to #2.

2. Do the Access Advisory or Call Number fields above indicate that a non-digital surrogate exists, such as microfilm or copy prints?

   • Yes, another surrogate exists. Reference staff can direct you to this surrogate.

   • No, another surrogate does not exist. Please go to #3.

3. If you do not see a thumbnail image or a reference to another surrogate, please fill out a call slip in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room. In many cases, the originals can be served in a few minutes. Other materials require appointments for later the same day or in the future. Reference staff can advise you in both how to fill out a call slip and when the item can be served.

To contact Reference staff in the Prints and Photographs Reading Room, please use our Ask A Librarian service or call the reading room between 8:30 and 5:00 at 202-707-6394, and Press 3.
