Collection
The RMIT Design Archives actively collects material relating to Melbourne design from the twentieth century onwards, including fashion and textile design, architecture, industrial design, interior design, landscape architecture, graphic design, gold and silver smithing and sound. The RMIT Design Archives brings together archives from design practices in order to tell the story of Melbourne as a design city. These archives are both digital and material, representing historical and contemporary practices. The RMIT Design Archives supports the work of scholars, providing resources for research into Melbourne‚ designed environment, design professions and design practices.
