American Institute of Architects, St. Louis Chapter.
Records, 1893-circa 1991. 1 box
Architects in St. Louis formed a local chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA)
in 1884. However, the charter for the St. Louis Chapter is dated December 5, 1891. The group
held meetings and collected dues on a monthly basis. The meetings provided a forum in which
St. Louis architects were able to discuss mutual professional interests such as bringing prominent
visitors to the city and directing the manner of professional practices by drafting resolutions for
consideration by state and local government. The chapter, popularly known as AIA-St. Louis,
continues its activities in the present to promote and support the architecture profession. (For
more information see Carolyn Hewes Toft et al., The Way We Came: A Century of the AIA in St.
Louis. St. Louis, Missouri: Patrice Press.)
The records are arranged in alphabetical order by type of document and/or topic. The records
are primarily comprised of the chapter’s meeting minutes (1898-1919), but also include meeting
announcements (1906-1909), membership lists (circa 1894-1923), financial reports (1901-1908),
and resolutions and correspondence from the chapter’s World’s Fair Committee (1900-1901).
