Scope and content
Fonds consists of architectural and technical drawings created and accumulated by Arved Soosaar as an employee of Principal Investments Limited and as an independent architect.

The projects are mainly in the Toronto area with some located elsewhere in Southern Ontario. Projects include: shopping centres in Thistletown, Streetsville, Whitby, Scarborough, Cooksville, Brockville, and Smiths Falls; Ryerson Polytechnical Institute's City Hall Campus (Toronto); offices for Carswell Company Limited (Toronto) and Patterson Springs (Etobicoke); and the International Airport Hotel (Toronto), among others.
