 The collection comprises 661 sheets of architectural drawings and two photoprints (of graphics), documenting 65 projects designed between 1963-1989 by the firm Wallace, McHarg, Roberts, and Todd, its predecessor firm Wallace-McHarg Associates and its successor firm, Wallace, Roberts, and Todd.

The bulk of the collection comprises rendered presentation drawings delineated by Todd. Many of the firm's major planning, civic, commercial, and residential projects are represented in the collection including the firm's master plan for the U.S. Capitol. Projects particularly well documented include the Baltimore - Inner Harbor Master Plan and the Nigerian Federal Capitol Master Plan. Neither the plan of the Valleys (Baltimore 1963) nor the Pardisan project (Tehran, Iran 1975) is represented.
