Finding
Books
Here is a selected list of relevant catalog subject
headings which may be useful in searching the
online catalogs. Check also for
other useful subheadings, such as Bibliographies, History, Handbooks, etc.
Guidebooks to cities may also have sections on parks, recreations and public
gardens, so check subject headings such as Berkeley, Calif.--Description
and travel.

Finding
Images
This section lists sources for different types of
images, including photographs, plans, drawings, and plat maps. In addition to the books and other
sources already listed, landscape images and plans may be found in specialized books
and on the Web. Note, too, that images can be found in unexpected places, for example,
in seemingly trivial or 'popular' books, such as Beauty in gardens; a tribute, by Roger B.
Whitman, published in 1928, and which consists primarily of black and
white photos of the work of selected American landscape architects, including Marian Coffin,
Jens Jensen, and Charles
Downing Lay. The archives listed in this guide are also
potentially great sources for images.

Archives, Libraries, & Historical Societies
Archives, historical societies,
and local libraries can be excellent sources of primary research materials
in landscape architecture. To locate materials in libraries
not listed in the Melvyl® catalog, use
WorldCat -
UC Only via OCLC/FirstSearch.
Some of these
materials will be available via the
interlibrary borrowing service.
