Sinopsis

A practical, organized system for cataloging landscape materials that saves time and keeps ideas accessible.


This comprehensive classification scheme helps libraries, offices, and students organize books, plans, photographs, notes, and other collected material on landscape architecture. It interlocks with city planning schemes and adapts to different ways of viewing the subject, so users can file items by form, topic, or cross references as needed.


The guide explains how the scheme is built, how it relates to other classification systems, and how to apply it to varied material—from published literature to pictorial material and manuscript notes. It also offers an up‑to‑date alphabetic index and cross‑references to support efficient searching and filing.



  • Clear structure: main headings, systematic subdivisions, and cross‑references

  • Practical guidance for libraries and offices managing landscape material

  • Interlocks with city planning classifications for integrated filing

  • Geographical and subject index tools to aid quick discovery


Ideal for readers involved in landscape architecture, library science, or planning who need a stable, extensible way to organize diverse material.

Excerpt from Landscape Architecture: A Comprehensive Classification Scheme for Books, Plans, Photographs, Notes and Other Collected Material; With Combined Alphabetic Topic Index and List of Subject Headings

While this Landscape Architecture Classification is a reasonably complete and independent scheme within itself, it is nevertheless planned definitely to interlock with the City Planning Classification already published.1 In an office or library collecting material extensively on the public problems of the landscape architect, the two schemes should be used together, as they are at the Harvard School of Land scape Architecture Library, where they have been developed and applied simultaneously. Fulfilling the promise made in the preface to the City Planning Scheme, in this Landscape Architecture Scheme numerous cross-references to the City Planning numbers have been made, with an indication of what has proved the more convenient place to classify ma terial covered by both schemes.

Excerpt from Landscape Architecture: A Comprehensive Classification Scheme for Books, Plans, Photographs, Notes and Other Collected Material; With Combined Alphabetic Topic Index and List of Subject Headings

"Landscape Architecture is the art of fitting land for human use and enjoyment.

"The Landscape Architect designs and advises regarding the arrangement, and directs the development, of land and the objects upon it in connection with private grounds and gardens, institutions, public parks, playgrounds and squares, cemeteries, streets and parkways, residential communities, and problems of city and regional planning."

Usefulness Of The Classification

This is the first comprehensive classification of the field of Landscape Architecture. It attempts to show in detail both the subjects making up the field, as far as possible in their logical relations and as regarded from various points of view, and also the relation of the field itself to tangent fields. The profession of Landscape Architecture is now so well established, with a background of accomplishment, and public familiarity with the subject and with its literature is now so general, that a classification can be produced with the reasonable certainty that its main divisions will remain permanently useful, and that future developments of the subject can find logical places within the present outline, with changes, if at all, only in some of the minor headings. This classification has been worked out primarily for use with the extensive collections of the Harvard School of Landscape Architecture Library, and has proved increasingly satisfactory through eight years of development and adaptation.
