9 R. Buckminster Fuller Collection at Stanford University

10 http://collections.stanford.edu/bucky

11 The Collection houses Fuller’s Chronofile and archivesover 1,400 linear feet of personal and professional papers, manuscripts, drawings, blueprints, audio and video recordings, and models collected and arranged by Fuller over the course of his prolific and polymathic career as an architect, designer, mathematician, teacher, philosopher and public speaker. The Collection in its entirety resides within the Department of Special Collections at Stanford University, and has been arranged into 23 distinct series. Much of the audio and video material has now been digitally for online access.

12Books/articles Although much written material has gone out of print, new internet resources appear daily, some bringing written material online, others surfacing new photos, graphics, and animations. Non-book media is also changing rapidly. Rather than attempt a comprehensive listing that would quickly become dated, here are two book lists:

141) By Fuller, listed by date first published, and
2) About Fuller, listed by title, and selected to highlight works written by associates of Fuller and/or with extensive illustrations and graphics.
