I just received notification about this project this morning. However, I imagine it will become a great resource as we move forward with this project.
Here is snapshot of what they have to say:
The AIA Historical Directory contains over 57,000 names of U.S. architects and firms—all AIA members from 1857-1978, plus some non-member architects and almost 6,000 historic firms. Under each name, you’ll see:
• what type of information is in the AIA Archives, along with links to files that have already been digitized
• citations and links to entries in a number of published or online reference works (the three volumes of American Architects Directory, published by R.R. Bowker for the American Institute of Architect in 1956, 1962, and 1970 are available in full on the site)
• whether the architect’s drawings and papers are known to be in another archive
