The Julius Shulman Photography Archive is an excellent resource for researching the modern architecture movement in Southern California. Although he photographed subjects all over the world, Julius Shulman is perhaps best known for his documentation of the architecture of Los Angeles and Palm Springs, particularly the Case Study House program sponsored by Arts & Architecture magazine. Many researchers use the Shulman collection in tandem with the papers and drawings of architects of the region in order to form a full picture of the creative process, from original sketches to completed structure.
