The Cowen Tracts are almost two thousand pamphlets which were formerly owned by local (radical) M.P., Joseph Cowen (1829-1900). The tracts date mostly from the mid- to late-Nineteenth Century and reflect Cowen's interest in the social, educational, political and economic issues of the day.

There is some earlier material, such as Deed of incorporation for the insurance of ships printed by T. Angus, St. Nicholas' Church-Yard, Newcastle (1778). Pamphlets were an effective form of public debate because they could be circulated to a wider audience than books and authors could remain anonymous. The Cowen Tracts discuss Irish politics, foreign policy, women's rights, religion, education and public health and include such titles as The Union programme for 1880: constructive, not destructive, Irish legislation [1879?], Are women fit for politics?: are politics fit for women [185-] and The education of the agricultural labourer: a paper read before the Morpeth Chamber of Agriculture, on Wednesday, Feb. 2, 1870 by M.W. Ridley (1870).

Crafts Council Gallery, Waterloo Place, London, 1980-1981. The scheme for a new gallery and information centre involved the refurbishment and conversion of adjoining buildings into one gallery building. The gallery space had to be capable of subdivision into three separate areas. Other requirements included a a public information and coffee area and office, storage, workshop and conference facilities.

The ground-floor levels of the two buildings were unequal, although the mezzanine areas were the same. By re-positioning the main entrance between the two premises and lowering the level of the door and reception area, a new entry ramp was formed. This new feature generated the main architectural strategy of the building - a central circulation axis from the entrance to the stair crossed by a cranked minor axis through the two major gallery spaces.The entrance axis orientated the public on the gallery floor and also lead them towards the staircase up to the mezzanine information centre.
