The Kathryn Clarke Albright Architectural Papers include design projects Albright developed during her years as an undergraduate student at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Additionally, the collection contains 67 pen-and-ink travel sketches drawn during her 1982 trip to Europe.

Albright's papers also include a mixture of professional work and project records spanning her years working at private firms, like Skidmore, Owings, & Merrill and Solomon, Inc., and in academia. Project records primarily consist of bound project notebooks that are either portfolios (built projects) or meant for the evaluation of urban planning bodies. These early projects are all located throughout California.

Albright's later academic work centers on community planning and urban design.
