==Legacy== Today, Gropius is remembered not only by his various buildings but also by the district of [[Gropiusstadt]] in Berlin. In the early 1990s, a series of books entitled The Walter Gropius Archive was published covering his entire architectural career. The CD audiobook ''Bauhaus Reviewed 1919β33'' includes a lengthy English Language interview with Gropius. Upon his death his widow, Ise Gropius, arranged to have his collection of papers divided into early and late papers. Both parts were photographed with funds provided by the [[Fritz Thyssen Foundation|Thyssen Foundation]]. The late papers, relating to Gropius's career after 1937, and the photos of the early ones, then went to the [[Houghton Library]] at Harvard University; the early papers and photos of the late papers went to the Bauhaus Archiv, then in [[Darmstadt]], since reestablished in Berlin.<ref>{{cite web|title=Gropius, Walter, 1883β1969.
