Garden and Landscape Photographs
The Garden and Landscape Photographs consist of several collections, David Coffin Papers, the Dumbarton Oaks Garden Images (1970–2009) and a British Aerial Garden Photograph collection. Earlier Dumbarton Oaks Garden Images are available in the Rare Book Collection.
Also available for research are materials from The Contemporary Landscape Design Collection formed under the direction of the Garden and Landscape Studies department. Drawn from the files kept by contemporary landscape architects and garden designers in their own offices and private archives, it includes items such as sketches, drawings, plans, and images of a number of selected projects as well as significant written documents prepared for a particular project.
