The American Society of Landscape Architects (ASLA) is a national professional society that represents the landscape architecture profession in the United States.

The ASLA was founded in 1899 and currently represents more than 12,000 members and has 47 chapters across the country with headquarters in Washington, DC. Private, public, and academic practitioners have a professional home at ASLA as do international practitioners and members of related professions.

Landscape architecture is the art and science of analysis, planning, design, management, preservation and rehabilitation of the land. The scope of the profession includes site planning, garden design, environmental restoration, town or urban planning, park and recreation planning, regional planning and historic preservation. Practitioners share a commitment of achieving a balance between preservation, use, and management of the country's resources.

The collection (ca. 1973-1984) contains a compilation of printed materials divided into committee activities, networks, surveys, financial aid, and reference subject areas that document the role of women in the landscape architecture profession.

The collection is arranged by subject area and was left in the original order as received from donor.
