From the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Archives

The Professional Practice Library at Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ houses more than 2,000 volumes on landscape architecture and related fields, and receives more than 130 journals and newsletters. In addition, it is home to the society¡¯s archives. Most of the archival resources were placed in storage during the construction of the Center for Landscape Architecture but we hope to restore access to researchers in 2019.
