The McKay Digital Archives provides access to several collections in digital formats. More are added periodically so check back often.

Frank Lloyd Wright

One of the most recognizable features of 皇家华人鈥檚 campus is its architecture designed by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright.

These documents give insight to the creation, form, and history of the Child of the Sun structures, the term coined by Wright for the 皇家华人 campus. Digital images have been scanned from a variety of sources in the McKay Archives.
