Frederick Law Olmsted (1822-1903) is perhaps best known as the acclaimed
and influential landscape architect who designed Central Park in New
York City, but his activities and influence extended far beyond that. In
addition to being the founder of landscape architecture, Olmsted was
also an urban and suburban planner, conservationist, writer, and
reformer, as well as an early advocate of the need for public green
spaces in urban environments. Readers interested in learning more about
Olmsted's life and activities should visit this collection of his
personal papers, which was digitized by the Library of Congress and made
available to the public in July 2018. This broad-ranging collection
contains about 24,000 items (approximately 47,000 images) and spans the
years 1777 to 1952, with the majority of items dating from 1838-1903.
Some of what readers will find here includes family journals and
personal correspondence, documents from Olmsted's travels to Europe and
China, and numerous items relating to Olmsted's career as a landscape
architect, such as project proposals, drawings, maps, and design
recommendations. Visitors will also find numerous links to relevant
teaching resources and finding aids.
