The collection consists of architectural records of five major architects or architectural firms who were commissioned by the University of King's College to design buildings for the University when it was located in Windsor, Nova Scotia, and after its move to its present location in Halifax.

The collection includes proposals, elevations, foundation and floor plans, finish details, and systems such as electrical and steam heating for College buildings. Principal projects represented are the original Main Building in Windsor, designed by Bishop Charles Inglis in c.1794; a 1920 proposal by Andrew Cobb to rebuild the Main Building in Windsor after it was destroyed by fire; Cobb's plans for the buildings of the Halifax campus, including the Main Building, President's Residence, Chapel, and men's dormitory; three buildings designed by J. Philip Dumaresq in the 1960s: Alexandra Hall, Muir Gymnasium, and Prince Hall, the dining room; the new Library, designed by Roy Willwerth of Duffus Romans Kundzins Rounsefell Ltd. in 1987-1990;.and the New Academic Building and the Link, Willwerth designs of the late 1990s.

Besides drawings for buildings that have been constructed, the collection includes drawings for proposed buildings and campus designs that were never realized.

The collection includes cartographic drawings - mostly small published informational maps of the campus showing building locations - and some textual records relating to construction of the buildings, such as contracts, correspondence, newspaper clippings, and published articles relating to the University architects and buildings.

There are gaps in the collection, as there have never been regular deposits of architectural records in the Archives.

Architectural drawings relating to the design of a proposed Main Building and female students' residence in Windsor to be rebuilt after the fire of 1920 destroyed the original Main Building.

Series consists of one architectural drawing of the original Main Building of the University that was built in Windsor, Nova Scotia, and seven plans for the construction of a gabled roof. The roof was probably part of Inglis' original design concept, but the drawings were made later, so were probably not drawn by him.

Series contains one architectural drawing, of a proposed Memorial Building for the Windsor campus.

Architectural drawings relating to King's Collegiate School at Windsor, Nova Scotia.

Series consists of architectural drawings by Andrew Cobb for the University of King's College, including a proposed building to replace the Main Building in Windsor that was destroyed by fire in 1920, and new buildings when the campus moved to Halifax. There are also drawings relating to King's Collegiate School in Windsor, and for the Royal Canadian Navy's occupation of the King's campus in Halifax during World War II.
