Archiving landscape architecture research and scholarship in the Lincoln University Research Archive

Abstract

Lincoln University has developed an institutional repository to collect, organise and provide access to digital formats of research outputs and scholarly work. The Lincoln University Research Archive has been established to ensure there is preservation of these digital objects, to improve the likelihood of other researchers locating the outputs of the university, and to raise the visibility and impact of research produced by the organisation. The forthcoming completion of the new building for the School of Landscape Architecture (SoLA), and the events planned for the approaching fortieth anniversary of the establishment of the School at Lincoln University, provides a platform for focussing on collecting outputs from current staff, students, and alumni, highlighting the value of their achievements.
