Lost landscapes: Using dynamic online maps to enhance search and discoverability of the Centre for Canadian Landscape Architecture Archives

Landscape Architects have shaped many of the iconic places in our country. While we preserve the records of their achievements in archives, these valuable documents lose their connection to place upon preservation and can become lost to memory. Through development of a web-based, searchable map of records from the Stanley Thompson collection, this project will test the ability of place-based searching to increase discoverability of the Centre for Canadian Landscape Architecture Archives. This tool will expand our understanding of the rich history of landscape architecture in Canada and may contribute to the preservation of heritage landscapes.
