OlmstedOnline.org provides an accessible, digital platform to showcase the
Olmsted legacy of designed landscapes. The Olmsted Network intends to build out and
populate this geographically-based website over time with selective
inclusion and/or links to archive materials both nationally and locally.
With the goal of providing the context and tools for understanding the
breadth and complexity of the Olmsted firm’s work, OlmstedOnline.org
will allow users to locate Olmsted jobs, compare archival materials with
current-day maps and images, and visit the sites with a greater appreciation
of the national treasure of Olmsted design heritage.
OlmstedOnline.org was launched as a prototype for projects in Washington State,
but much more has been added related to the full extent of Olmsted projects. Project
information includes mapped project locations, the Olmsted plan lists, historical and
current day images, links to the Olmsted Archives
digital collection, National Register documents, and most recently links to the digital
Library of Congress Olmsted project correspondence records. Watch for additions and join
us in helping build out the content in your area.
