Resources

The Prince’s Foundation Resource pages are aimed at involving the public and media across the UK, the Commonwealth and worldwide through publications and educational material available to download, speeches, transcripts and video from past programme events, and the latest news and press.

Our office in Shoreditch also houses the Library, specialising in the history of architecture and planning, including conservation, regeneration and sustainability. Whilst oriented towards traditional solutions, the library covers most major architects, styles, building types and periods including the modern movement. Public access to the library is arranged through our Membership Programme.
