Abstract
This project aims to address issues of preservation at OWL Farm, a women's
land collective formed in 1975 by the Oregon Women's Land Trust. Context will be
created for both structures and landscape in attempts to balance preservation concerns
with the need for greater and continued visibility and use of the land by the women of
OWL Trust. As women involved in second-wave feminist action grow older it becomes
increasingly important from a preservation perspective to document the history of the
organization, its members, and the land that has sustained them. This project will
document the resources existing on the land, and synthesize the history of the land's
development gleaned from primary document analysis and existing secondary writings .
It also will provide a plan for interpretive and communicative materials that members of
the trust can use to increase visibility for the organization.
