Definition
Architectural Documents: Any medium that refers to or depicts
architectural works, structures, parts of structures, or designs,
whether built or unbuilt. Included are textual documents such
as specifications and letters; graphic documents such as drawings,
prints, and photographs; models; and any other visual media
that concern any portion of the built or unbuilt environment.
Subjects may include not only architectural works, but also
related subjects such as furniture, engineering designs, naval
architecture, textiles, architectural ornaments, paper architecture,
studies, landscape designs, and stage designs.

CAD Drawings
Autodesk®
Architectural Desktop and AutoCAD
2002, Autodesk, Inc.
Recommended software for the development of drawings for
collections management, planning, budgeting, and project
development. CAD Layer Guidelines, second edition.
"The AIA’s CAD-layer naming protocol is the
result of an interdisciplinary collaboration to make it
possible for all members of the design and construction
team to find the graphic information they need quickly
among the hundreds of CAD-drawing layers for structure,
plumbing, wiring, ductwork, ceiling, flooring, et al.
"The second edition expands layer designations for
remodeling projects; provides a single format instead
of the original long and short formats; accommodates interior
design, telecommunications, and other fields; adds guidelines
for using reference files; simplifies the methods for
indicating drawing annotation; defines CAD layers for
product information from manufacturers; and coordinates
the CAD Layer Guidelines with the National CADD Standard
from the National Institute of Building Sciences, the
Uniform Drawing System from the Construction Specifications
Institute, layer standards from the U.S. Department of
Defense Tri-Service CADD/GIS Technology Center, and new
international CAD layer standards."

Guidelines for Recording Historic Sites and Structures
using Computer-Aided Drafting (CAD)
These guidelines address the application of the Secretary
of the Interior’s Standards and Guidelines for Architectural
and Engineering Documentation to the use of computer-aided
drafting (CAD) software in the production of two-dimensional
HABS/HAER measured drawings. This document is intended
as an ADDENDUM to Recording Structures and Sites with
HABS Measured Drawings (hereafter referred to as the HABS
Guidelines) and Recording Historic Structures and Sites
for the Historic American Engineering Record (hereafter
referred to as the HAER Guidelines). Reference should
be made to the HABS and HAER Guidelines for any issues
not addressed in this document.

A
Guide to the Description of Architectural Drawings, Architectural
Drawing Advisory Group (ADAG), Foundation for Documents of
Architecture, Getty
Standards and Digital Resource Management Program, J.
Paul Getty Trust.
A product of a collaboration between the Getty Art History
Information Program (AHIP) the Architectural Drawing Advisory
Group (an international consortium), and the Foundation
for Documents of Architecture (a non-profit corporation).
ADAG concentrated its efforts on providing guidelines, and
sometimes conventions, in these relatively neglected areas.
Categories for the description of architectural drawings,
including: subject/built works, people/corporate bodies,
geographic locations, and bibliographic sources. The Guide is not definitive, but is meant to be a step toward cataloguing
standards. Although principally concerned with architectural
drawings, many of these guidelines may be applied to—and
at times specifically address—related materials, including
models, prints, and photographs.
