You can always import django.core.urlresolvers.reverse and pass it necessary args and kwargs to reverse.

The reverse defnition is:

reverse(viewname[, urlconf=None, args=None, kwargs=None, current_app=None])

In your view you can always do:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse

def myview(request):
    return HttpResponseRedirect(reverse('arch-summary', args=[1945]))

Refer the documentation for more.
