William F. Shellman was a member of the Dept. of Architecture faculty at Princeton University faculty forty years (1946-1986). He taught introductory courses in architecture and the visual arts and courses designed to heighten architectural students' visual sensitivity. He also taught a graduate course on landscape architecture.

The collection consists of papers of Shellman, primarily lectures and notes for his classes (Architecture 302 and Landscape Architecture 565), but including matted illustrations and photographs of sample forms of architecture, cassette tapes of lectures, slides, architectural drawings, and watercolors. In addition, there are photographs of Egypt taken by George E. Kedder-Smith in 1938 which Shellman used in Architecture 302 and a small collection of abstract paintings called "Feay's Watercolors."

This is an unprocessed collection and remains in its original arrangement.
