Now we can consult a list that specifies how many drawings made by FLLW exist for each project:

https://findingaids.library.columbia.edu/staging/ead/nnc-a/ldpd_12471376/summary

We'll know exactly how many drawings we need to have the complete puzzle of a project and it is also possible to see the drawings asking for an appointment

Do any of you live in NY?

So, this is a list of the holdings. No way to see any of the material online ?

No
I asked this question recently in an email to the archives.
The response was: no plans anytime soon to digitize the material

But I've wondered if they were heavily petitioned for certain very specific items ... if they might
