Land Use Database
A collection of source material and processed information on unusual and exemplary land use in the United States, the database is used in-house at the CLUI as a resource for regional and thematic programming, and is coupled with the CLUI Photographic Archive, a collection of thousands of images taken by CLUI representatives, covering all types of land use sites. A limited version of the Land Use Database, with over one thousand locations, is available on the internet.

The American Land Museum

The American Land Museum is a network of landscape exhibition sites being developed across the United States. Each site in the network will provide regional interpretive programming for the selected district it represents. The Center’s facilities at Wendover, Utah, for example, represent the Great Basin region, and provide exhibitions and information to the public, and support the Center’s Wendover Residence Program, which enables new and innovative interpretations of the region to be developed and presented.
