A part of the Texas Tech University College of Agricultural Sciences, the
Department of Parks Administration and Landscape Architecture offered both
undergraduate and graduate degrees. One of the first park administration and
outdoor planning programs in the United States, it emphasized such areas as studies
in environmental land resource and management, aerial photography, park planning,
watershed management, leisure science, and open space planning.
Return to the Table of Contents
This four box collection contains records from the Parks Administration and
Landscape Architecture department, donated mainly by professor Dr. James Kitchen.
Included are reports and papers dealing with studies on parks and recreation areas.
Also included are slide show presentations and several student papers, both of which
contain reels of film and color slides to accompany the slide show or paper. As most
of reels of film and slides accompany papers or scripts, the materials reside together
in the manuscript collection. Many of these do not pertain to Texas or the southwest
area, nor Texas Tech University.
