Fort George Drawn from the Archives

Our archives hold a wealth of treasures and this exhibition celebrates some of the wonderful drawings held within them. From archaeological site records to architectural plans, drawings play a key role in how we can preserve and understand our built environment. But drawings also show us how we have imagined and connected to the world around us, what we have valued and how we have translated the world. Drawings are at once instructional and inspirational, offering us beauty and information that can help us to learn more about those who came before us.
