You might want to contact the Historic American Landscape Survey (Charles
Birnbaum) about the various projects they have going on. I also think
looking at the FEMA post-Katrina GIS work might be of interest in how their
documentation efforts may lead to a re-imagining of the city of New Orleans
and its (lost) historic resources as sites of cultural memory.

I immediately thought of looking at Christo’s work – maybe a little flashy
on the surface, but all of it is conceptually tied to the use of the
particular landscapes of a region. Also look at the African American
Burial Ground project in NYC, and preservation/interpretation of English
churches destroyed during the Blitz. You also might look at the Green Map
system, which provides a template for developing and manipulating maps of
communities to highlight green and sustainable uses. Some of these maps
are highly idiosyncratic (in a good way), detailed and innovative. Also
look at the cultural resources department at National Park Service.

I have shared this with MLA professors at Va. Tech, who should have
interesting options.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Landscape Interpretation
I am working on a landsacpe interpretation project and am looking for
examples of interpretation that goes beyond the walking tour (guided,
signed, or with brochure). I'm more interested in things like the outline
of Benjamin Franklin's house at Independence park or computer generated
images of historic landscapes that could be manipulated. Cost and
feasibility are not issues at this point since it is a brainstorming
excercise.
Thank you
