Excerpt from Making Educated Decisions: A Landscape Preservation Bibliography

Since the publication of Preserving Historic Landscapes by the National Park Service in 1990, the field of landscape preservation has witnessed a dramatic increase in project work and academic interest. These developments have fueled the profession, and can be measured by the increased number of books, technical publications, journal articles and conferences on the subject. However, readers are often challenged by conﬂicting approaches in landscape preservation literature, practice and policy, and interpretations of the Secretary of the Interior 's Standards.

Additionally, there is a growing number of articles in allied disciplines, such as archaeology, cultural geography, anthropology, natural sciences, and computer technology which may not be known or easily obtained by landscape architects and preservation planners engaged in project work today.

Recognizing that the National Park Service mission includes a wise use of our land, (and) preserving the environmental and cultural values of our national parks and historical places, this document has been prepared to guide the user in obtaining practical guidance to make educated decisions when researching, planning, managing and undertaking project work in cultural landscape resources.
