Technologies for the Preservation of Prehistoric and Historic Landscapes
Interest in preserving landscapes for the enjoyment and education of future generations extends well beyond saving historic battlefields and the grounds of historic houses, and now encompasses such varied cultural landscapes as the Pinelands of New Jersey, the historic courtyards of Arizona, tobacco farms in Kentucky, and the historic parks and gardens of landscape architects. Congressional consideration of a specific bill, the Olmsted Heritage Landscapes Act of 1987, is discussed and analyzed in this background paper. Also the paper illustrates the importance of continuing to apply certain high leverage, cost-effective technologies, such as remote sensing and computer hardware and software, if the Nation wishes to protect, restore, and preserve important parts of its rich heritage for future generations of Americans.
