NELA’s first lustrum / NELA’s fifth anniversary

In October 2024 NELA members celebrated the network’s first lustrum. After five years the network has grown into a firmly established cooperation of passionate members. We look back on a productive period of improving the archiving of landscape architecture through publications, presentations, education and research.

With enthusiasm we look forward to the next five years, beginning with a COST Action project to strengthen and expand the network and stimulate the preservation and use of archives.
