Harry Seidler’s personal scrap albums, covering the period 1948-1968, record his career as an architect from the time of his arrival in Sydney. The three albums, arranged chronologically, contain press cuttings from the popular press and specialist architectural publications of the time, including articles about Seidler’s early domestic designs and associated disputes with local councils, as well as his ongoing interest in urban design and planning.
The albums feature articles relating to some of his best-known, award-winning and controversial projects such as Rose Seidler House, the Ithaca Gardens apartments at Elizabeth Bay, the Australia Square building and Blues Point Tower, Sydney. They also contain articles about his personal life, his wife Penelope and their own Seidler house, Killara, which they designed together.
These albums give a valuable insight into Harry Seidler's early career and his reputation as a leading modernist architect of the day.

Articles on Seidler’s early career refer to him as unconventional and innovative: "Once you’ve seen a Seidler house, you’ll never forget it" (1955), "Innovation in architecture" (1954), "An architect of controversy" (1954), "His home designs startled Sydney" (1954). Seidler’s modernist designs shocked some of Sydney: "High priest of the twentieth century – Harry Seidler has trouble persuading conservatives that his houses are just right for the modern age" (1950), "New architecture exciting, but - houses with legs frighten Sydney home-seekers" (1955), "House without inside walls!" (1956).
Seidler’s early career was plagued by battles with local councils: "Council won’t pass modernistic roof" (1949), "Architect may fight ban on home plan" (1950), "Model home banned" (1950), "Architect wins dispute over house design" (1951), "Council agrees to new design" (1952), "Unconventional house causes stir" (1952).
The press at the time referred to Rose Seidler House in Wahroonga, as "Ultra-modern" and "The most talked-about house in Sydney" (1952). Designed by Seidler for his parents, it won the Sulman Award in 1951. The young Harry Seidler is portrayed as "Architect beats convention" (1952), "Medal won by rebel architect" (1952), "Young man who trod an eventful trail from Vienna wins one of Australia’s major awards in home design" (1952).
Another of his projects, Waks House, built on a cliffside in Northbridge, is referred to as an "ingenious and practical solution...to building a house on a difficult slope" (1951).

Articles include early housing plans for McMahon’s Point and the construction of Blues Point Tower: "Experts plan lay-out for McMahon’s Point (1957), "McMahon’s Point scheme – 20m plan for suburb" (1957), ""Huge block of flats to be built" (1958), "Home unit block to go up 250ft" (1958), "Start made on Australia’s tallest block of flats" (1960), "Sky is the limit for Sydney buildings" (1961).
