Pidgeon Digital supported the 2026 ARCLIB Annual Conference by fully sponsoring a funded place for one attendee and contributing a recorded presentation about its services.  

The Pidgeon Digital platform gives users access to more than 280 talks by architectural professionals.  Former Architectural Design editor Monica Pidgeon began making recordings in 1979 because she felt people needed to hear from architects in their own voices, not merely through the filter of critics and journalists.  She partnered with Stephen Albert and World Microfilms to distribute the collection.  The original recordings are now digitized and additional talks are continuously added to the platform.  As of this writing, Pidgeon Digital gives users access to talks with architects in 46 nations.  Content covers the period from 1955 until the present day.  

Pidgeon Digital offers institutional subscriptions that utilize IP ranges.  Subscribers’ logos will be added to the platform.  Free 60 day trials are available on request.
