<p class="MsoNormal">The University of Oregon Libraries Special Collections and University Archives is pleased to announce that access to previously unavailable material related to prominent three Oregon landscape architects is now available. The project "Creating
Pathways to Oregon Historic Landscape Architectural Collections" was completed during this last year. This project was made possible in part by the Institute of Museum and Library Services through the Library Services and Technology Act, administered by the
State Library of Oregon.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The newly available material documents the working lives of the superintendent of parks in Ashland, Oregon, Chester E. Corry; the first woman to be elected fellow of the American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA), Barbara Fealy; and
the first women working in landscape architecture in Oregon, Elizabeth Lord and Edith Schryver. The collections contain hundreds of newly processed landscape architectural designs, plans, and drawings.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Special Collections and University Archives processed 47.1 linear feet of archival material never before accessible to the public, create remotely accessible digital surrogates of select large-format drawings and plans, and stabilize collection
materials for long-term storage and preservation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Description and requesting options for materials are available on the Special Collections and University Archives website (<a href="https://scua.uoregon.edu/">https://scua.uoregon.edu/</a> ). Digitally accessible materials are available
on the University of Oregon Libraries’ digital repository, Oregon Digital (<a href="https://oregondigital.org/catalog">https://oregondigital.org/catalog</a>).
