The holdings of the CAC reflect Bland's dual career as educator and architect. John Bland was responsible for assembling the materials which now form the archives of the CAC. There are 71 projects from the John Bland Archive that consist of drawings, photographs, and reports. These projects are grouped under series based on Bland's architectural partnerships. Other literary material, such as his publications, lectures, and unpublished papers, offer insight into the plethora of subjects that captivated Professor Bland's interest. The archive is rounded out with articles by others on John Bland and his work, as well as his personal collection of slides, maps, and books.
"Architectural Drawings, n.d., 245 drawings." Included are measured drawings of historic Quebec architecture sketched by students of Professor John Bland. "Papers, n.d., 70 cm." Sixty-four undergraduate student papers on historic Quebec architecture are found in this archive.
